Pros

None whatsoever. It's very bad.

Cons

There's a huge disconnect between management and the workers. People working from 9 to 5 make decisions for people working 6 to 6. Salaried employees send home hourly employees to suit their numbers. Training is insufficient and read only. Engineering techs are responsible for everything and get credit for nothing. You are expected to be on your feet for the majority of your shift regardless of whether there's anything to actually do. The parking situation is terrible and unsafe. You are under constant scrutiny. HR is a spineless tool of management; they will do nothing to help you or support you. There are no merit raises. If you're owed money you have to chase it down. You can't plan on a vacation because the plant can and will be shut down at the cost of your PTO. You are under constant scrutiny. Your career survival depends on your ability to navigate political waters that change constantly due to the constant management turnover.

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.
