Parker Hannifin Employer Reviews

The best thing about Parker is the job security. They do try to balance your home/work life. It is just hard to move up in the company with out a completed degree.

A typical day for me was to assist others in getting their job done, when I wasn't working on my own issues.
I received useful experience in Avionics and Python.
The management (upper management) was not always interested in day to day issues, getting involved in politics. Middle management was mostly excellent.
My co-workers were mostly excellent, – more... putting in extra time, helping out when possible.
The hardest part of my job were management / reporting issues.
The most enjoyable part was working with others to debug interesting issues. – less

Great, I enjoyed working with this company. I wish this company would have not laid me off because I was able to earn overtime hours with this company and make good money to support my child

Outstanding furtune 200 company to work for. Great team members and management. Overall positive company willing to advance employees when deserved.

parker hannifin as a whole is a fantastic company. in machesney park il the time wasted having meetings to talk about wasted time is absurd. in my opinion HR should not exist at our location (unless we could get an individual that was not pro management). HR is there to protect management at employee expense.

great emphasis on safety and employee welfare. good pay and benefits. nive quarterly profit sharing and perks such as computer purchase programs and attendance bonuses

Daily review and adjusting ship dates for customer orders. Working closely with the assembly and test teams to help meet there needs to a one piece flow...

i loved working on the paintline i weld and paint everything that we weld

PARKER HANNIFIN ACQUIRED GULF COAST SEAL LTD ON 11/15/2010 AND I WORKED FOR PARKER FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS THE HARDEST PART OF WORKING FOR PARKER WAS ALL THE CHANGES FROM A ONE OWNER COMPANY TO A HUGE CORPORATION- PARKERS COMPUTER SYSTEM IS ANTIQUATED AND WHAT USE TO TAKE ONE OR TWO STEPS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK NOW TOOK SEVERAL STEPS- OIL AND GAS BUSINESS – more... WAS IS A NEW ADVENTURE FOR PARKER AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO RETRAIN THE GAS AND OIL COMPANIES TO PARKERS NEW TERMS AND CONDITIONS AFTER TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF BEING WITH GULF COAST SEAL AND ABIDITING BY TOTAL DIFFERENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS. MOST ENJOYABLE PART WAS SOLVING PROBLEMS FOR THE CUSTOMERS AND KEEPING THEM HAPPY AS WELL AS OUR INSIDE SALES FOLKS. – less

This job was a cool place to work and I enjoyed working with most of my coworkers. This Parker Hannifin was very fast paced.

I enjoyed working with Parker's distributors and their customer's to grow their respective business's through both phases of my career in Corporate Credit and Sales for the Fluid Connector Group.

The HR person I reported to was the meanest person I have ever worked for/with in my life. She was allowed to do the things she did and continues to do so. She was even promoted. She tried getting others to write false information on peer performance reviews if she didn't like you, she was immature and insulted others behind their backs, and everyone – more... was afraid of her. She threatened people and she threatened your job if you didn't agree with her. So what do they do? They move her and then promote her. I use to love this organization until I started working with her. The entire team was afraid of her. Every person walked on egg shells when she was in the area. She used fear to rule. I had always prided myself on being an ethical employee of Parker Hannifin but this woman is the most unethical person I have ever met. She isn't a leader. There was so much turnover in her area of leadership but it was never questioned. People called the hotline and nothing was done. She terminated people and was never questioned as so why the people around her were failing. She would set you up to fail. She had staff who would lie for her and if they didn't they were terminated. Sad. I loved it when I started and miss it terribly and those I worked with but this woman took it all away and is still there. Bad ...bad...bad Parker Aerospace. – less

There was always work to be done at Parker Hannifin. I learned many electrical circuit applications which included: modification of electrical design, troubleshooting, and reading electrical schematics. The supervisors working there were great and helpful to my education and experience with the work field. They tried to give me different variety of – more... work so I can expand my knowledge. However, the work were fairly simple and not too complicated. I was hoping for more challenging work. The most enjoyable part of the job is working jointly with engineers on design and testing. I got to briefly learn about the regulations that are required before a project can be completed. – less

Parker was a good place to work with good benefits. Excellent co-workers to work with and enjoyable.

Set up and operate machines for air refueling parts.
Part flow and inspection to a finished product out the door.
Last 2-3 yrs. poor due to downsizing and micro-management.
Co-workers were like family.
Hardest part of job was tolerating micro-management and supervisors who lacked social skills.
Enjoyable part of job was in knowing that we contributed – more... to our
nations' defense and global air transport systems.
Finally left job to pursue new career and working atmosphere. – less
