Pros

The checks don't bounce. In all fairness, a company does not remain in business for 100+ years just by shear inertia. Most of what I what I have posted applies to the LMS division and the engineering department specifically, and not to Leviton as a whole. I understand the division in Bothell, WA (Leviton Telcom) is a lot better place to work. I have heard the same complaints about low pay and lack of opportunity from a number of other divisions, so this would appear to be a company wide issue.

Cons

Salaried exempt (you heard that right) individuals are now expected to clock in and out using a Kronos time system. Projects are consistently behind schedule. Pay raises are minimal at best. The highest raise for 2009 was 3% despite the division having a good year. At times the realtionship between the engineering department and other departmets would appear to be adversarial instead of cooperative. Since I have worked here the turn-over in the engineering department has been enormous. After 2+ years, there are fewer than 6 individuals that have more time in the department.

Pros

Not really any pros in the Finance department. The people in the other departments, like Engineering, Supply Chain, & IT are very nice and helpful.

Cons

Very poorly managed, especially the Finance department. Work is haphazard, chaotic, and the management in Finance department has no clue at all at how to get the work done. No appreciation shown ever to the employees in the Finance department and the management never cares about the employees at all. HR department is totally overstaffed, but under-worked. They really don't listen to the employees if the employees have any issues. Everything is just pro-management. No career growth at all. Compensation & benefits are administered by the company itself, and so the benefits are average but the rates keep going up every year. Very expensive for a company this size. Work/Life balance: hardly any balance since management in Finance doesn't care about the employee's private life. All about work. Senior Management in Finance: extremely unprofessional, rude & discourteous. They don't even stop to say "Good Morning" even when the employee is standing right in front of them. Salary: mostly below industry-standard salaries. Except for the senior management, who I am sure are overpaid. At year-end, the bosses really keep the chunk of the department bonuses for themselves and hardly give anything to their individual employees. Culture/Values: Started off as a very good company with immense values when the original founder & direct family were there & involved in the company's day-to-day operations. But lot of things have changed at the management, and especially in the Finance department. Employees who have been there for years, especially since the original family, really say that this company has deteriorated very rapidly. Only the CEO, Don Hendler, stops to wish everyone he comes across. But unfortunately, he is hardly involved in the day-to-day operations anymore. So he is hardly seen around. So unfortunate!!
