Productive, alot if heart and detication goes into the work
Board Tester Technician (Current Employee), Richland Center, WI – June 3, 2013
Pros: good pay, ok benifites, they seem to offer a decent amount of vacation. which you need to keep your sanity
Cons: i guess my biggest issue is, there is a major disconnect between management and shifts now
It is a decent enough place to work. It use to be a great place... But it seems like with the new management, there is more of a punishment mentality rather then a reward mentality. So lately it is nose to the grind stone or you loose your nose... figuratively speaking of course.

Great place to start
Research & Development Electronic Technician (Former Employee), Mequon, WI – May 30, 2013
Rockwell is a great place to start. The company invests a lot of money in training and compensation. There is a big gulf between employees and contractors, and the company definitely use that to its advantage. Pay is ok (depending on assignment), but there is little to no stability in working as a contractor. Don't expect to be hired in either

Strong CEO and Corp. Management Team
Field Support (Current Employee), Burr Ridge, IL – May 29, 2013
Great company to work for as long as you are willing to re-locate every few years. if you have a family with strong roots in your current living area, you will not be able to advance quickly, or at all.

Rockwell Automation was a great learning experience. Developing all critical skills for the real world. The environment was safe, friendly and fun but also productive. This company tested my leadership skills as well as my organizational skills while working on top computer software used in the engineering field today.

If you're not moving up, you're moving out
Senior Financial Analyst (Current Employee), Austin, TX – May 16, 2013
Great company if you have the right political connections to move up. If you don't have that, you won't have a long career.

Good place to work
ASST. HR / SAFETY MANAGER- Athens (Former Employee), Athens, GA – May 14, 2013
Pros: being an employee advocate/mediator
Cons: manufacturing environment (dirty, unhealthy)
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.

Average Company
Associate Manufacturer (Current Employee), Richland Center, WI – May 13, 2013
Pros: pay is good
Cons: constant changes and keep up with rules
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

Horrible
Marketing (Current Employee), Milwaukee – April 5, 2013
Pros: i've developed good networking contacts outside of the company, and good relationships with people outside my department
Cons: such a stuck up organization, zero room for advancement if you're not kissing up or sleeping with someone.
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
