No structured internship program yet.

Pros

Flowserve is a good company to work for in a lot of aspects. They are very focused in training. If you are willing to learn, they are willing to train you.

Cons

Sometimes you happen to get stuck.....trying to get recognition for the work you are doing rather than your manager getting the credit is hard sometimes.

Advice to Senior Management

Upper management should communicate with all employees and not just take for granted what middle management is communicating to them.

Pros

International and the industries it serves

Cons

none - communication could be improved

Pros

The actual working groups were nice to work in - the nuclear group was friendly and everyone stuck together. Project managers were nice. You can take Metro Link and Bicycle to work from the station. During lunch, you can still walk around and get fresh air. Back in 2003-2004 they had employee parties. The old Vernon building is quite historic - they had all of the old mold casts stored there.

Cons

Shop is Union run, so You got to be careful when having work done "fast". Also, the Vernon area is not the safest place to walk at night. Management can be one sided. Career growth seems to be lacking. Back in 2002-mid 2004, I never got a bonus, but I heard they started giving one later.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to interface more ---one on one and find out how employees feel about job growth.

Pros

The most recognized name in the pump business. I'd recommend work for a year or two to gain some good experience

Cons

You are just a number. I work in the Chesapeake office and can not think of one person who is happy with their job. It is a very political environment with people talking behind others backs all the time. Everyone is overworked and unappreciated. Its very hard to get a promotion, as there seems to be a lot of competetion.
