Pros

Good company, mostly great people. A business model that is unique and should continue to grow the business. It is a family-owned business that has created some challenges, but the family really cares about the business, the culture, and the people. They do want to maintain their reputation and solve the growing pains. There have been a number of senior management turnover in the past 2-3 year (Sales, HR, IT, Finance, international, etc.), mostly for the better, and that is bringing in some big company experience - annual reviews, comp, more communications to customer and employees. So the company is trying to evolve. Employees do vary, with still some 9-to-5, punch-the-clock attitudes, but lots more people who do what it takes, works as a team, and have some pride in the results. A mix as you would see anywhere. Some of the older reviews on here should be taken with a grain of salt - you can sense the resentment when they were let go or did not like their direct boss. (Same as anything on Glass Door) but every company has their good and bad aspects. I've been at a few other companies, and Rochester is up there with the best for growth, success, mostly engaged employees (not all), and a good overall work-life balance. Love the campus, the regular company cookouts and events (they are trying to have fun), and the community-focus. The pay is so-so compared to start-ups and big Boston companies, but the health care is about the best I have seen. The location is great, and overall company reputation and stability is a good thing for the long-term. (I hope.)

Cons

Some people can get lost, especially in the production jobs.

Pros

I spent 11 ½ years on active duty in the Air Force (I finished my last 8 ½ in the AF Reserves) and the next 16 ½ years with another distributor. I’ve worked with some great folks in some great places. I’ve been an individual contributor as well as a manager in those environments. I started here at Rochester Electronics in sales just a few months ago and the atmosphere here at Rochester is the best work culture I’ve been associated with in my adult work life. People genuinely care about one another and seek to help each other first. I know I’ve only been here a short time but working here has truly been an immensely positive life change for me. That kind of positive attitude starts from the top down and it doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when leadership genuinely cares about their work force and follows that up in word and in deed.

Cons

I know for balance, I should write something here but I can't think of one thing that is worth noting.

Pros

the company has good health benefits and generous 401k

Cons

working here is ridiculous magement is continuing revolving and for the worse I wasted several year waiting for things to change they did change but only for the worse the quality of working environment has gone down the drain they don't value good professional workers none of the experience workers have lasted because of the poor management people that have no skills keep getting promoted only because they ate liked or they are just a yes man no advance they always want you to do more without appreciation I won't be surprised when this business will burn to the ground in the next few years do yourself a favor and save yourself before is too late
