Pros

The Operators that are the life blood of the company.

Cons

I worked here as a maintenance technician for nearly 24 years. Upon leaving, management showed a disappointing lack of respect and engagement; no one in leadership followed up to ask about my reasons for departure. The lack of follow up was spread not just through management, but it was also with others that I have worked with throughout the years. Engineers, Planners and all Supervisors. Throughout my time, there were pervasive issues with discrimination. Furthermore, there was significant wage compression, with new hires consistently starting at higher salaries than experienced, long-term employees. In the later years of my tenure the Management and HR quality of communication, collaboration and just understanding of workers needs dropped drastically. This point was the main reason why working at Molex was no longer good for my mental or physical state.

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.
