Pros

Flex senior management has a good feel for business conditions and is relatively proactive in responding to market opportunities. Good at cutting costs to the bone (and sometimes beyond). Conservative financial management. Will be a survivor in the current economic climate.

Cons

Communication below VP level is spotty, and the reasons for decisions are not well explained. Decisions sometimes appear to be arbitrary and not thought through. Very little input is requested from lower levels, nor used if it is provided. Way too many VP "cooks in the kitchen", and the organization routinely leaves conflicts between regions, business units, functional organizations, etc. ambiguous and unresolved. Getting a decision seems to have more to do with the force of the personalities involved rather than strong overall direction from the top.

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.
