Working at Rockwell Automation in Mayfield Heights, OH: 11 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Mayfield Heights, OH Area

"Rockwell Automation is a great company to work for. They value being able to spend time with your family and having a life outside of work in general.

"I've worked for Rockwell Automation so I've being around a diverse workplace."

"Very liberal, large corporation."

"Cleveland has more than a 50% African American population. The engineering groups I worked with consisted of more than 100 individuals and not a single African American. Empty promises of FT to senior level contractors used to keep them from leaving. FT placement driven by cronyism. LGBT policy that looks good on paper but is not enforced locally. Just as likely for a person trying to file a complaint to face retribution instead."

"The company's policy is to promote high values and strong work ethics in a diverse and highly cooperative environment. In my humble opinion, their greatest challenge to these lofty ideals and this probably goes for most large companies continues to be real change at the individual level to conform to better attitudes and behaviors and especially to be able to see outside the box. Some tribal ways of thinking are best resolved through the introduction of fresh talent not yet tethered and spoiled by the mooing herd."

"After a 'good performance review' and 'being told' to 'stick around' as others were leaving in a massive layoff arrangement we had 9-11. The week following with 15 minutes notice and security at your desk, 785 people were released from the building I was working in. Families aside, medical and other aside, it is a reality that I've seen a few others go through since I was there."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"My manager was an excellent manager, but I'm not sure management anywhere would put their prejudicial preferences aside when working with People. I've seen too many highly skilled workers suffer for lack of personal and private matters that were none of the companies business, yet things happen.

Typically, these managers, while being highly stressed and forced to live the 'global life' had the 3P's down to a T. From my own scale, they would rank as great to fantastic!!"
