Pros

Competitive salaries and quarterly bonus.

Cons

Work-life balance, nepotism, unfair pay and extreme lack of gender diversity among upper management. For the same title and workload, salaries can be significantly varied based on negotiation and favoritism. If one belongs to the old boys' buddy club all the way up to the executive level, that person can get promoted twice in a year vs an average person can get stuck in the same position for many years if not forever at 0%-3% merit raise. Some team and certain people within the same team can be extremely idle with minimum workload while other people or other teams can have big workload and work 60-70 hours per week - it all depends on the manager.

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.
