Advice to Senior Management

pay your people what they are worth

Pros

Ideas are heard and used.

Cons

Has grown too large. Lost some if it's edge.

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

Pay is fair. If part-time, after 20 hours you'd get overtime pay which is unbelievable. Clean and friendly work environment; management and co-workers are very open to questions and helpful. Scheduling is very flexible and they offer you guaranteed hours. Supervisors are friendly and relatable. Environment leads to high moral and thus high productivity.

Cons

Policies don't allow part-time employees to start and fix simple bugs on the machines. Pay could always be better.

Advice to Senior Management

Allow part-time/temporary employees to fix simple bugs on the machines. It would reduce down-time and increase productivity dramatically given the frequency of the machines stopping or breaking down due to a small problem.

Pros

Very Large Company, good standard benefits, strong performance development encouraged, global exposure, good financial resources, virtually zero leveraged growth, exposure to precision precision manufacturing

Cons

adversarial goal structure, weak compensation, co-create, co-create annotator, highly entrenched non-dynamic culture, weak training programs, weak management of new-business acquisitions

Pros

This company is in the electronic connector industry which is constantly changeing. This industry will continue to grow as new electronic devices are created.

Cons

If you don't like change, this is not the industry for you. Since the company is in the electronic connector industry, it must change constantly to stay competitive.

Advice to Senior Management

Please keep pushing for Molex to improve and keep some manufacturing in the United States.

Pros

Nice people, broad product line

Cons

people get promoted for knowing someone not based on proving their skills
high performance organization goals are very unfair and demotivating
no one knows where they stand in the rankings of employees (at certain levels they don't know)
ideas from employees on the front line are not taken seriously or implemented and this is where Molex needs to get ideas instead fromt the people in upper management

Advice to Senior Management

If you value employees, listen to their ideas to improve the culture and atmosphere at the company.
New people that come in have valuable input that we should be listening to.
Weed out many of the current management team and bring in new blood for fresh innovative ideas
