Timex reviews about "employee"

Pay is not competitive. Career growth is slow.

The executive team’s leadership is severely lacking. Despite their inability to navigate the organization effectively, they continue to demand upward mobility for their employees. When employees are unable to meet these expectations, they are subjected to harsh criticism and unreasonable demands. The executive team prioritizes its own interests over those of the employees who are responsible for the work. Issues are only addressed when the executive team is directly affected. The organizational processes are inadequate. Employees are constantly required to reassess procedures and provide explanations to every level of the company. There is a lack of overall direction and a sense of individual autonomy within each department. Departments operate independently, resulting in inconsistencies and difficulties in achieving alignment.

Heavy on workload and compressed assignments.

They keep letting people go and piling the work on the employees that are left with no pay raises in the last 5 years (not even cost of living). Management is unsupportive. High turnover.

few promition opportunities for employees

NLR plant got shutdown and moved

Honestly there are so many cons to working at this company. All of upper management has been there much too long for anything to happen, they preach about innovating and change but they are the roadblocks stopping it at every turn. They think they know best but these are the same people that have been keeping it stagnant for years. The pay is terrible. They justify this by saying they’re out of middlebury and not Hartford or Fairfield county so they don’t need to pay those types of salaries. Newsflash, your employees live in these areas and you didn’t even provide a cost of living wage increase for at least 3 years. Also, only senior managers and above are eligible for bonuses. HR is also a complete joke at this organization. There is maybe only one of them that truly cares about what you have to say and wants to hear you out but nothing ever gets done because her boss is too busy gossiping or trying to be fake bffs with everyone. It is by far the most unprofessional work environment I have ever been in. They allow inappropriate actions continue to happen because they don’t have the balls to take action. There is absolutely no feeling of support coming from this company, you pretty much feel ok your own. The benefits are also not good. Insurance is extremely poor unless you opt for the highest plan and then its about average. Summer fridays are nice but some managers will still schedule meetings during those hours or make it seem like you need to ask permission to use them when its a company wide initiative. Its almost like RAs in college where they think serving stale popcorn and throwing on a crappy movie from the 80s will make up for your poor salary, lack of room for growth, and inability to provide adequate resources for you to perform your job (they did actually do this activity). It is truly an overall toxic environment at this company. People are promoted when all they do is online shop, talk about not doing their work, and have no idea what is going on with the business all because they’re bffs with someone in the higher ups. You are not rewarded for your work at Timex, others are and in turn you just receive more of the workload they decide they don’t want to do. This company takes advantage of every (actual) capable employee but only rewards the ones that bring nothing to the table.
