Old School Manufacturing Company that makes Microphones.
Pros
Nice building, nice people, good products before they decided to ship all their manufacturing to China. Not environmentally cool to work for they are not worried about their Global Footprint. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. This could have been a really great cool small company to work for they have about 1, 500 employees worldwide, mostly in the factories overseas. Main building houses about 400.
Cons
Department VP Leaders are very polarized, and don't work with one another's department. No job growth, no internal movement, its frowned upon to post for another position in another department. The benefits are weak to average, same with the pay unless you are a Director. They do things very old school here and don't utilize SAP correctly or any other operational function. The IT department is very weak with experience and over bloated as a department. Marketing and Operations are really behind in many areas. PR, Engineering and Finance are the only good departments to work in. Human Resources is the most bloated department next to IT, in other companies I have worked at they rank on the low end of a hierarchy scale of importance. Here at Shure they have much to much significance in decision making, which goes along with the theme that this company is still stuck in the 70s. Come her to work while you are looking for a better place, don't buy into the hype, they just make microphones. It's just manufacturing and there is nothing exciting about that.
