Pros

Decent pay - but I think I got lucky lol.

Cons

Be prepared to shill for the customer. There is little to no separation between Flex's system and the customers. I've been told to succeed at Flex, you need to brown nose with the customer - I can confirm this is accurate. It felt like I was put down for earning the salary I did, almost like it was a mistake, and it should never have happened. Very hostile environment... On top of that, management/senior leadership is extremely out of touch. I've sat in meetings with senior VPs who have zero idea of what our operating procedure entails or how our lines operate. It ends up being a chopping block station to those who question or go against the grain. Flex is a place where your mental stability will most DEFINITELY be compromised if it means the customer will be happy. Many people have already begun to leave the company, or have been let go. If you do decide to go with Flex, don't expect any smooth transition into your role. There are no guidelines for onboarding - you are given a bunch of PDFs and expected to learn the encyclopedia of Flex within a month.

Pros

Very friendly, as close to family as a company can get. Extremely large, so support exists for any task, even if not on site.

Cons

Long over burdened processes for capital to produce quality goods, on time. Pay for talent is lower than industry average

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.
