Pluspunten

Decent pay, and good job security in the electrical industry. Plenty of opportunity to move around for jobs and career growth due to the sheer size of the division and its spread out locations.

Minpunten

If you want to stay in one place to grow, it is extremely difficult. Local management varies, but this is a good ol boys environment and it shows. Plenty of people who are not qualified to be managers are, simply because of the number of years they've put in. They make it painfully obvious by saying you can't move jobs until you fill your 2 years, time is required to qualify for application. Management at this plant is abysmal and highly unprofessional. No local hr at each plant has allowed people to run amok, and the management is free to do as they please and act like children. Bonus is based on overall plant performance not individual. No drive to go the extra mile since it nets you nothing, yet gives the plant manager a great boost. Moral is at an all time low. Previous employee reviews had the plant at over 90% satisfaction. Most recent averaged between 50-60% satisfaction.

Pluspunten

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Minpunten

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
