Pros
Innovative and competitive products. Great culture, people are excellent to work with. Everyone seems to be a team player. Good benefits, including a gym. Decent food.
Cons
Budget cuts have dimmed the rosy corporate outlook from when I started. Since then things have been slow-going. The transition to a field position is tough if you want a specific location.

"a few bad apples"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at Phoenix Contact USA full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Nice people to work with
Cons
Certain managers are willing to throw any and all of their employees "under the bus" for their own personal gain.
Advice to Management
Don't believe the "Great Place to Work" survey results. People know that you can trace individual responses, and are therefore lying on the survey in the interest of self preservation. There is a growing morale problem because of a few incompetent managers.

Pros
As an intern, you will get real hands on working experience. You will learn a lot while working here at Phoenix Contact. The company really care about their interns and want to give them the best experience, as well as help them grow individually. My mentor is pretty amazing. He gives me great advice and constantly check in on me to see how things are going. I have learned so much not only about the company..., but what it is that I want in a company. PxC has a great culture and so far I am enjoying my internship experience. The company also have friendly employees and a welcoming environment. They also Pay Interns really well and there is an opportunity to get hired full-time after your internship, which is pretty great!

Pros
Great benefits. Excellent people and culture. Although the "Cons" list is much longer and detailed than the "Pros", this is still a great company.
Cons
Slow to adapt to quickly changing markets. Extremely conservative approach to adding resources holds back the company from reaching its actual potential, and overburdens some groups within the company. Couple this with the unwillingness to recognize and eliminate under-performing individuals and groups, it can become an extremely frustrating environment. Also, contrary to they own believe, the pay is below the... market.

Release the Kracken!!! Get the resources in place needed to let this company flourish, and refocus on the core competencies that will take this company to the next level.
