Rockwell Automation Employer Reviews

In the after hours department of customer support a great team work ethic. Good people to work with management supports there teams very well. Great place to work. Only down part is that we had to work Holidays. But company culture is great at Rockwell Automation

The position was very fulfilling because of the ability to assist the hourly employees. It was fun getting up and going to work everyday. On most days, I spent the majority of my time on the plant floor investigating claims, speaking with employees, working on the line, etc.

Learned how to read schematics and wire and identify electrical components.

Management has over turned several time in the past few years. Constant changes in employee handbook and rules. Just want to go to work and do my job. Yes making changes for the good is fine. But have gone full circle in some areas and are back to square one in some cases. – more... Have to wonder about job security and how long a company can keep that up. What goes today, may not go tomorrow.

Enjoy the work and my co workers. Can do without the drama – less

Rockwell Automation's corporate culture and senior management encourage work/life balance, individual professional growth and they do an excellent job supporting employees on a successful career paths.

Great company with great products that makes a difference for people life.

This company gave me an opportunity to advance in my skills as an assembler. Great company to start a career with.

Exciting and Progressive working environment. High Quality Products. Very Labor intensive in Assembly.

Horrible place to work. Extremely stuck up management. They spend so much time promoting themselves, that they have no ability to inspire a team to want to work hard for them. I never saw any leader produce anything. Constant chit chatting and being completely unprofessional. Bark orders and not give any direction, but take credit for their direct report's – more... hard work. At least that is the case in marketing. They get rid of natural leaders because they have opinions and keep lazy workers because they just sit there in a cube, and do what they are ordered to do. HR is a joke. Doesn't sound like a great place to work, does it? – less

As an intern, I worked 3 months at Rockwell Automation at Mequon, WI. People are nice. Working area is quite and neat.

High paced, actually fun work enviroment. Supervisors are supportive and most all employees needs are met. Good place to work.

If all of these reviews are "Great Reviews", then why are all the people that worked for Rockwell no longer employed there. I can tell you why from my employment with Rockwell. It is Rockwell policy, only hires people to work for them as contractor's. When your time is up, your out the door. When I worked there at Rockwell, I actually saw people with – more... expired contract's, when, they're time was up and asked to leave, tried and begged to get full time job's there. As Rockwell booted them out the door. For all you people reading this doubting what I am writting, then why are all these reviews been written by former Employee's. That's wright they do not care (Rockwell) after they say see you latter. (Reviewer's) They all think by writting these nice reviews, that they just might be called back to jobs by Rockwell, they will never see again as an Employee of Rockwell's. – less

Rockwell was a very friendly environment and offered very flexible hours to their interns.

Had interesting positions in electronics manufacturing. Very professional management required by this large company. Good benefits and pay. Lots of overtime. They unfortunately moved their Dublin operations to Mexico in 2011

Every employee are treated equally.
They are valued and well respected.
Provides good mentoring to new employees

A typical day at work will start up with series of meetings with different project managers and teams to know what issues that needs to be resolved and how to keep the projects moving forward. And working with the production floor teams to make sure the production is in full gear with great quality.

learned many purchasing skills yet was still tied to my prior days in production doing various jobs on the manufacturing floor.

had to either build or test parts to be pack out to customers.
I learned how to build electronics without getting shocked by static electricity. My coworkers were friendly. There was never a hard part of my day and the most enjoyable part was when we meet our quota.

I worked as a Test Engineer contracted to lay out and wire up test labs of different configurations for test environments sized from individual cubicles to walls of test gear.

I learned about Allen-Bradley PLC hardware and respective Rockwell Automation software, working with other contractors involved in the sofware testing portion of the labs.

My – more... contribution included troubleshooting the hardware setup as well as applying correct NFPA electrical codes and wiring practices to ensure the safe operation of each of the labs. – less

Too many meetings, too many people are engaged in one work, low efficiency.

Management style is horrible, too many layers in the management, no decision maker, management hardly popup clear guidance and knowing the technical solution.

Mid-west write-man culture, women's voice is never heard and less respected. Some of the co-workers are selfish, plays – more... political games Network within the company is the most important thing and to keep job security. The company has the products, technology and expertise, but management has no business and marketing sense at all.

Many opportunities to learn new technologies, work with many good bright people. – less

We are a big plant with more than 1000 employees
We have very good benefits
