Lutron Electronics reviews

Terrible communication. Dysfunctional organization and management. Everything is handled on the fly. Inventory and P/L ratios are lost in taking care of the customer to a fault. This reduces profit margins, which trickles down to wages to its lower employees. Management/Engineering knows best and do not heed warnings about production issues or flaws in process until something breaks or safety issues happen. Unless you're tenured, your concerns are ignored. Poor safety practices and procedures. Issues are handled on a "after the fact" basis or safety practices are neglected if it interferes with management/engineering goals. Poor training development practices and is practically non-existent. You're handed manuals and some thrown together procedures by overworked engineers and expected to perform. Management/Engineering constantly in meetings rather than overseeing process and training employees to help increase productivity and knowledge. You WILL perform multiple job duties. It is expected that you change your job roles according to company priorities, which change constantly.

The politics in middle and top management are awful. The leadership is well past their prime (passed it 30 years ago) and make the most ridiculous demands of the people around them. They attempt to obey the often impossible and incomprehensible requests, because to do otherwise is suicide. However, they take turns ratting each other out as they all try to stay in good grace. The leadership is sometimes disrespectful to women and minorities, although I don't think it is intentional (just stuck in the era before computers). HR has been described as "pure evil" by many, and I can't say that I'm impressed with their ethics. Bonuses have basically gone away since the last stock market crash (over 6 years ago now), even though the company has reasonable profits and a strong balance sheet. Don't make the mistake of joining "for a few years" and leaving afterwards - the non-compete will keep you from working anywhere else in the industry. And if you don't believe me, PAY a lawyer who knows contracts to review it in depth (and in the context of PA law) - don't use your cousin who is reading it over a beer during a football game.
