Pros

Big company benefits structure Global business environment Relaxed supervisory attitude

Cons

No support from management, or even regular status updates Employees are routinely hired with misleading job descriptions and false promises of growth projects. The job requirements shift suddenly for emergencies. The business is always having an emergency. Rather than long term improvement projects, the business is a mess of short term fixes. The lab on site is small and cannot receive shipments. Engineers should expect to commute to the plant 1hr north weekly at minimum. The company hires the cheapest employee they can, regardless of skill set need. Reviews are more dependent on relationships with upper management than performance. Projects are routinely understaffed. When they fail as a result, management fires everyone and starts fresh with the same staffing levels and less experience. Despite decades of experience being a geographically diverse business, basic communication lacks between departments and levels of power. Extreme silo effect.

Pros

Hubbell Power Systems has a wealth of talent. They have mature product lines that have a good standing in the industry. They offer good training and opportunities to the employees.

Cons

Too focused on stock price and sales projections for the current quarter. You don't get a feeling of long term stability when you work for them. Cost savings is a good business practice when used in moderation, but when it is overused it can create problems long term for a company. They tend to use lay-offs if their sales projections are off.

Low Pay, Micromanagers, No flexibility

Pros

PTO allowed to be taken

Cons

Upper management will not allow any flexibility in work location/schedule. over 70% turnover, leaving for more pay and hybrid schedules (where job allows). Plant posts record profits and employee reward is a popsicle. Micromanagement impedes progress and makes employees shut down. Does not promote from within.
