Pros

Flex’s gave me a job (less than a year). Wasn't welcomed.

Cons

Crappy benefits for large company that size with crappy bureaucracy. It’s people acting to protect their jobs regardless of anyone else at the bottom. They try and persuade you that they are forward looking company looking to compete in turnkey engineering. That they are high tech and cool people to work with. Management was very ambitious with that thought and right people it probably would’ve work but it was marred by poor execution and lack of hiring top managers (executing visions) and workers willing to put plan into actions. As an ex-Flex employee job was routinely boring, our leaders didn’t inspire confidence and just not fun working there. Then we met our demise as a group so they can avoid paying final retention bonuses. Oh well you get what you paid for. My advise don’t work there unless you like S&M or you already in the higher ups or mindless worker bees.

Pros

Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) were quite good.

Cons

Flex tolerates a toxic work culture from their most senior leaders. My director, literally, yelled at me daily, usually throughout the day. He physically grabbed me and forced me in the direction he wanted me to move. He threatened to fire me or replace me at least once a week. I went to the then director of HR who did absolutely nothing. After she was let go I went to her successor who told me there was no record of me speaking with HR before. And she did nothing. Unable to tolerate the work environment, I left. The company doesn't take safety seriously. We had shelving collapse resulting in an employee needing medical attention. The person tasked with designing and building storage has no training, no mechanical background, and no analysis is being performed to validate if the storage can hold 1,000+ pounds. There's no budget for professionally designed storage and, again, I was threatened for raising this as a concern. I learned today this same director is continuing to use me as a scapegoat despite me no longer working there.
