Flextronics Employer Reviews

This was a management start for me
Mostly foriegn workers. And a great crowd
The plant was closed soon after opening

A typical workday would be to greet and assist customers with their cell phones and any concerns about use and functions. Also assisting them in purchasing any accessories they wanted. I also learned a lot aboout new phones that came with the assistance of my co-wrokers and management, icould say we learned together. The most enjoyable psrt of the day – more... was when the customer left the store totally satisfied. – less

Average work environment. I've came a long way in my learning with this company. The Management team still has lots of room for growth.

I learned a lot about the product but learned little about teamwork in the receiving department.

Work life balance is very difficult. Management direction is limited. Hard working people working with limited resources due to the extreme difficulty to be profitable in the EMS industry.

Interact with customers, provide coaching and feedback to a team of employees, communicate via email with various members of the corporation, manage projects and interpret data, create and implement plans of action for continuous improvement

this job had good pay but job security was not to good but all in all great place to work.

I loved working at Flextronics, I only left because of complications with my pregnancy.

Customers come in with cell phone saying that it doesn't work, Have to figure out if it is something you can fix or have to replace only if it is still under warranty, I leaned a lot about cell phones and the functionality of them, Co workers are stressed because it is non stop traffic, wait times for customers are very long and they tend to be upset – more... because their phone doesn't work and because it might be 30 Minutes to an hour before someone can help them. Customers are the hardest part of the job. They hardly ever like what you have to tell them, – less

Customer service both face to face as well as phone and corresponding with representatives via email. Team lead associate on major account. MERK etc

A good job that allowed me to meet new people and stay ahead of the curve technology wise.

Dealing with customers with their mobile phone issues
I learned how some people would go crazy over not having access to a mobile phone
Management was great
Co-workers were great

I worked for Flextronics at Verizon wireless for about 2 years. It was a very fun job mainly because of the people, but the job its self was very stressful. We didn't receiver nearly as many benefits that direct verizon employees recieved however we were equally responsible for sales and what not. Aside from that, health benefits were good, paid time – more... off was good and my manager was really good at working with me when it came to missing work due to pregnancy. It was a good 9 months he put up with me missing tons of work. In the end, it bit me in the butt but he really did help me as much as he could. There is very little room for advancement mainly because there werent many positions even available so its hard to ever move up. As far as I know, there is no more contact with Verizon so I can't tell you if working for Flex will be the same when they have contracts with others but for the most part, i loved the job and do miss it. – less

The job is very easy and everyday is the same task which is to simple come in diagnose the laptop, order the necessary parts, and repair the unit. I have learned quite a bit about Apple laptop technology and how to fix it.

a pleasant typical day at work
Fair management
cooperative co-workers

My day was always divided between desk work and visits to production floor

On my desk, attention to purchase orders, review of the demand, short, materials analysis, inventory and run reports based on MRP. Suppliers evaluation, sourcing, quotes, etc..

In floor production became physical review of materials, quality evaluations of materials, shipping, – more... delivery of packages, etc.. Teamwork, pokayokes, LEAN implementation of ideas, etc..

The hardest part of the job is when you have to deal with things that badly affect your results, but that are completely out of your control such as weather, logistic delays crossing borders, etc.

In summary, when you love what you do, everything is enjoyable, every detail or even a challange.... particularly when you achieve that challenge. – less

I am a contractor for AT&T. We do the troubleshooting on the mobile devices AT&T supports and sells. We perform onsite replacement device if required and exchange by mails of device not currently housed at the Device Support Center

Liked the work. But there was a little too much of it to go around. As engineering techs we had to longest hours in the factory, 90 hours a week for months at a time. Great if you are behind on your bills, not so good for the social life and relaxation time. Most of my co-workers were good people, but we went through a lot of people the 4 years I was – more... there.

Got to do a lot of quality repair work there, and it certainly firmed up some of my t/s skills. – less

from the 1st day i noticed that no one knew what they were doing. over hired people. they asked for ideas, but never used them, it was there way or nothing. upper management were slow to return emails .you were a lead but had supervisor responsibilities.

Very high paced environment. i learned a great deal about lean management. 5S principles and the application of them.Employee accountability, Kronos,Red Prairie and cost effective applications.Worked with very team oriented people.The hardest part of the job to me was the amount of area that i had to cover since i was rsponsible for the raw warehouse,Kitting – more... and shipping area.The most enjoyable part of the job for me was being able to mentor and help other employees advance in the company. – less
