Pros

Close to home, literally the only pro of the job.

Cons

On my first week i was training other people to do extrusion, which at this location was a really technical job. We had other extruders come in that had 20 years of experience and say that the job was too difficult and they were asking for too much. I was continually told if i continued to perform and train people i would be rewarded with greater compensation when they made me a job offer(i was working through a temp agency). When the time came for them to make me an offer they offered me $1 less than what i was currently making. I thought maybe i did something wrong so i asked my co workers what they were offered as well. Turns out that is the standard operating procedure at this company, to promise people compensation for excellent work but when the time came to compensate us they refused to. They took away all the chairs and replaced them with tiny stools that made my legs go numb when i sat in them and when i asked them why they took the chairs away my supervisor said " you guys looked too comfortable" I would avoid this employer at all costs.

Pros

Molex is a great community. There are a wide variety of professional employees to network with. It is a very large company, but a small community.

Cons

Decisions from upper management, do not always trickle down through the organization. Not all of the departments follow the same guidelines. Case in point is remote working. different groups have different allowances. It is a small thing, but an area that could improve.

Pros

Benefits are very good for a company this size

Cons

Team is run based on last minute requests and on a lot of meetings to join leaving little time for your usual work. Director likes to devise “innovative” ways to get sales to give more information but instead it translates to chaotic management and more stress for demand planners. There are a lot of stress placed on leads for not getting their teams to get to unrealistic goals with an unsupportive sales team. There are hardly any consistent reviews for employees but it’s not unusual for employees themselves in PIPs. Overall I would say it’s a chaotic management style in this team. Pay hits industry average but not much more. Additionally there is an overemphasis on being in the office in this company because they recently invested millions in renovations so they track your badge swipes. There are really no company wide events to get people more unified other than a quarterly CEO town hall that managers force everyone to attend.
