Pros

”Flexible” hours Challenging subject matter Nice working environment People overall are nice and easy to get along with Very nice lab and equipment Healthy and safe work culture. We are encouraged to stretch and exercise during the day ABB is slowly moving in with much better policies and benefits Lots of smarty pants people to learn from

Cons

Local managers interpret some policies however they want with no accountability (like the new flexible hours policy) ABB vacation policies still haven’t been applied to their adopted Baldor people. Projects drag on and on waiting on layers of approval Too many alpha males roaming the building Pay is so-so HR is farmed out and is the worst Some managers are not good managers of people and micro manage you Raises are insulting Good luck getting a promotion Tendency to make a science project out of the most basic ideas

Pros

- Exposure to large-scale manufacturing systems and cross-functional projects - Can build strong manufacturing and quality engineering experience quickly - Competitive pay and solid benefits for the area

Cons

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
