Pros

Great location, has benefits (wouldn't say they are anything to brag about). Pay is average. If you want to work somewhere where you can punch in and out and go through the motions and never get a promotion, this is the place. If you like to say, "That's not my job" than this is the place. If you like to gossip about other coworkers and complain about everything, than this is the place.

Cons

Tekra was acquired by Genuine Parts Company which is a giant publically traded company. The atmosphere and culture of Tekra left with the former CEO (Tully) and all of the employees who had been there for 20+ years. Aside from management, the majority of people there are new and inexperienced - leaving Tekra struggling to be a shell of its former self. Everyone seems to hate their job. The common answer to any request is "That is not my job". Sarcasm runs high and optimism runs low. Office politics are ridiculous and department managers seems to battle each other often. The only managers who you can appreciate there are in the warehouse.

Pros

Alright salary, people are friendly, decent benifits

Cons

Recent events have made working here difficult. The company was purchased end of Q3 2019 by a private equity firm. Since this has happened, the place has been overran with consultants and all are now subject to a much tighter reign. We were all sent a letter at the end of they year, stating we are "at will" employees. People have been forced to change hours, and all in sales and management are expected to work 12-14 hours days. They are telling our sales staff that they have not been properly challenged and are over compensated. I have worked for this company for many years, and we have always been profitable. The funny thing is (not really) that all these directives are coming down from someone, but no individual is named.

Pros

Overall good direction from management. Strong focus on innovation and developing unique products. A lot of tribal knowledge from veterans that have been with the company for a long time provide good insights.

Cons

Difficult to work up the ladder. Management tends to not move forward with decisions even though facts support otherwise. Highly technical product that can be difficult to understand.
