Pros
Terex is committed to safety. This is demonstrated continuously. Additionally, Terex is committed to ethical business practices. There is no pressure to break the rules to make the numbers.
Cons
Terex has been in a divestiture mode for over 5 years. It makes it hard to perform with the specter of layoff constantly lurking.
Advice to Management
Care more about employee feelings.

Pros
The aftermarket support team is amazing from a talent and professional standpoint, with fantastic leadership all the way up to the director. The engineering groups are very talented but they are mismanaged and under utilized. Benefits are pretty good, great 401K, decent medical, very competitive, even offer paternity leave 10 weeks for mothers 2 for fathers. i worked at multiple positions with different... managers, the departments i worked in i was happy with my job and my manager, i personally wasn't micro managed and was able to make positive impacts in the departments i worked in. They do encourage moving around to other positions as they come available, i personally did it twice. they do want to promote from within at times. They also have a tuition reimbursement program. The CEO seems to have good intentions and is educated, however the VP's are not impressive, mostly just glorified salesmen that tell people what they want to hear.

The Senior management for the production lines are short sighted, narrow minded, and lack principles. They seem to believe that when a failure happens on a small or large scale, it is the people at the "bottom" of the org chart that are at fault (leads, supervisors, etc.) They constantly preach the "Terex Way Core Values" but don't recognize them as a direction on how to manage business or personal conduct, they see... it as bar to hold their employees to but not themselves. It seems they fail to see good leadership starts with a person with strong personal values and is not only able to lead people but also develop them into leaders themselves. They can't seem to go beyond their own ego's to recognize this. They have managers on staff that understand values, leadership, and the value of people they employee, they need seek advice from them. The HR department is a complete travesty. They typically will have one or two good HR generalist but they never stick around for longer than a year or maybe two. it is a disadvantage to the employees having the people that are there to help them constantly be rotated through a revolving door. Since i hired on the HR managers are usually worse, they wont make the time to assist and they drag their feet on every possible task. overall i wouldn't recommend working for the production or materials team, blame constantly goes downhill, they ask for ridiculous hours to be worked due to their poor planning and knee jerk reactions.

FIND YOUR VALUES! not just the ones that are on the posters in the hallway, do the right thing cause you know its right! Quit protecting unqualified people and promoting them. Start investing in a product line you have. Buying a company, stripping its resources down to a bare husk until you have to layoff the workforce and not investing in the product, so you can sell it later is good method to turn a quick... profit on something, and it has been the Terex business model for a long time. Start investing in something and actually develop new technologies, this will get your teams engaged and excited for their jobs, and the shareholders that all of your emails express your concern about will take care of themselves, instead of the employees moral tanking and wondering when the next layoff will be.

Pros
I really enjoyed the people I worked with very diverse. Learned a lot. OT pay checks were nice. HR was always very helpful to me, they listen when I had something to say,
Cons
To plan to have no plans. OT was mandatory so seldom do you get Fridays off and even when you did you wouldn’t know until usually the day Thursday afternoon.
Advice to Management
Stop leaving peopke hanging until the last minute make a plan and stuck to or at least try to. Some people have personal life’s too.

Pros
Great pay. Flexible work hours.
Cons
Yearly layoffs seem to be a reoccurring theme.
Advice to Management
The CEO and upper mgmt teams should develop the Southaven location as a central hub for parts distribution and stop selling off product lines without obtaining new products that will bring in revenue. There are tons of products in the market that Terex can buy or invest in to grow their business. Utilize the Southaven location as the main hub for parts distribution for most product lines. Terex has a wide range of... product lines such as roadbuilding, paving, cranes and aerial work platforms; however, most of these parts are not housed at the Southaven location which is a PRIME location for parts distribution since it's literally 2 miles from Memphis, TN. The company should be utilizing this location, moving parts there from other warehouses and maximizing its potential. I mean, does the company really need roadbuiding parts in a separate warehouse when they have a prime location in Southaven which is centrally located in the US? There are also other small parts warehouses like this that could be consolidated into the Southaven location. The CEO and Mgmt is not taking advantage of this.

Pros
The employees on the floor are nice.
Cons
Fired half of the plant because sales were not predicted correctly. Hours vary depending on when there are parts available. Parts for assembly work are never at the facility or delivered on time. Morale is always low.
Advice to Management
Better planning on how the entire plant communicates with one other and how the plant operates.
