How do I apply a feature to an entire part?

Hello all,
I have searched around but could find anything definitive.
I would like to create the slots all over the part. I sketched one slot, extruded it, then used the linear pattern to replicate it across the face of each larger slot. But I am curious to know if there is a way to sketch one slot, then replicate it to each face on the entire part? And, not have to apply the sketch to each face, then use linear pattern.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

Create the first vertical strip but leave it as a separate part (i.e. pick "new" instead of "add" in the extrude), then do the pattern of groove in that on strip and then linear pattern the strips (with the "add" option). Also draw half the part and mirror it at the end (or don't add the 3 strips and mirror them).
