I spent 11 ½ years on active duty in the Air Force (I finished my last 8 ½ in the AF Reserves) and the next 16 ½ years with another distributor. I’ve worked with some great folks in some great places. I’ve been an individual contributor as well as a manager in those environments. I started here at Rochester Electronics in sales just a few months ago and the atmosphere here at Rochester is the best work culture I’ve been associated with in my adult work life. People genuinely care about one another and seek to help each other first. I know I’ve only been here a short time but working here has truly been an immensely positive life change for me. That kind of positive attitude starts from the top down and it doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when leadership genuinely cares about their work force and follows that up in word and in deed.

I know for balance, I should write something here but I can't think of one thing that is worth noting.

Senior HR Business Partner
- Supportive owners and a generally well-run company that takes care of its employees
- Uncapped bonus structure
- Good medical benefits and work life balance
- Some genuinely good colleagues
- Don't worry about how well/bad you perform; rewards/promotions/pay adjustments are definitely not based on these
- A comfortable place for those planning for retirement or not focused on career growth. If you are seeking career progression, opportunities are limited unless you navigate internal politics wisely.
Inconvénients
- Blatant double standards; at times it feels like a “cowboy town”.
- Recognition can goes to undeserving individuals. More qualified individuals are often overlooked despite being more capable.
- Unofficial authority can be abused by some from the “inner circle.”
- Experience can vary depending on your gender
- Certain toxic and petty leadership running the show; if you didn't feel it, you are part of it.
- Micromanagement due to insecure leadership
- Ambiguity at its peak; certain leadership is unclear what he/she wants and try to shrink away from making direct decisions so as to have a scapegoat.
- Gaslighting and undermining your contributions is the culture in some places.
- Meetings are not conducted in English at times; insensitive to those who doesn't understand native languages, not that leadership cares.
- There will be times you are required to remind people to do their jobs (yes).
