Pros

Free work shirts, above avaerage health benefits. Free water. Bathrooms sometimes work. The idiots you work with often make funny, loud noises.

Cons

When I would meet people away from work and they would ask, "Where do you work?" I was embarrassed to say Faureica. Not that they ever heard of the company, but, they would then ask, "Oh, so, how do you like it?" So, I could lie and say it was wonderful, or, I could tell them the truth. Seven day work weeks. 16 hour days. No overtime or compensation for hours put in. I worked at Franklin, Oh for three years until quitting and finding another Tier I job. I waited three months before writing this review as I wanted any bitterness to be smoothed from my system. It is horrible at FECT. The corporation, from the clowns in France, to the blind stooges in N.A. are clueless. The plant management is no better. If you are interviewing, and the person across from you is very large, near obese, and seemingly under-educated, that is a hint that you are in the presense of one of the half-wits that are running the place. Ask them how many people have quit recently. Ask them why they lost their Q1 status. Ask them how many hours you will work. You will be lied to and the answer will be "Things are getting better." They are not. They are getting worse. Everything is done on the cheap. The equipment is old. The people are old and the building is old. The ideas are old. Do not take a job here. Unless you are starving, take the job and keep looking. There have been supervisors that have started and then quit after two weeks or a month. That is very, very common. The idiot that runs NA will say things like, "I really believe that FECT has the greatest people in the WORLD!". What else is the idiot suppsoed to say? Why doesn't he address the horrible service level or the people that are quitting constantly. Shame on him. DO NOT TAKE A JOB HERE. Yes, it is that bad.

Pros

Good people to work with (I’m referring ONLY to your U.S. peers), the French management structure and culture ties back to the 1700s, an aristocracy. If you are not French, and did not attend the right school, you will remain a worker bee regardless of your skills, how hard you work, or what you accomplish. Know that going in and you will not be disappointed.

Cons

Rule 1: get anything you are promised in writing, lots of talk, low or no integrity, and their word is worthless. It will be like WWII again, you save their butts, they ignore your contribution, and then take the credit. IT management routinely goes back on promises made, unless of course, your French. Rule 2: Don't waste your time, move on. Most of the good people have fled the company, completely fed up with the French BS.

Pros

You make decent money. That is how they get their talent by prompting you with a big bonus for you to sign a contract with them. Supervisors, Engineers, and everyone alike are treated like they are meaningless when in fact the managers are the ones that are uneducated dictators. They will say they have new management, but they are worst than the previous managers.

Cons

Several Cons: - Work hours are exhausting. Monday through Sunday with 12 hour days. - Management believes in putting fear into people. They mistreat everyone below management level. The hourly are treated in a way that is way out of employment laws, and they are lucky they are not already closed down from a lawsuit. - They will lie to you about the schedule you sign up for and the opportunities available. You must be French in order to advance. - It is a simple manufacturing process made difficult. If you are experienced you can fix your area, but unfortunately management will resist improvement if it is not their idea. Therefore you never get better in your process. Then management is angry because the process is terrible, yet it is managements fault. - Turn over is extremely high due to mistreatment of employees. - If you are great at Lean you will be extremely frustrated here. They do not use or believe in lean concepts.
