Pros

-discount on Milwaukee Tools, Ryobi, and Hoover -cheap options for health insurance

Cons

-no training whatsoever. It's a complete joke. They have a training outline they show you, yet never followed it. -lots of backstabbing and snakes at this company, everyone is very much out for themselves. -no profit sharing -vaction/pto/floating holiday time is very underwhelming. For as big of a company as Milwaukee is, you would think they would be more generous. -no support whatsoever on off shifts. If you don't work 1st shift they don't care what happens, but blame you whenever anything goes wrong. -off shifts have NO engineers or maintenance workers on staff, yet are still expected to achieve unrealistic production goals -management is incompetent and only care about short terms goals, rather than looking at the bigger picture -the burnout is real here, when overtime is mandatory you will work 8 hour Saturdays -garbage temp workers. Fights, theft, on the job drug use, and stealing time is not uncommon to see here, yet management turns a blind eye because they can't find people to fill production roles

Pros

Great company perks, free food, trade shows, golf etc. Lots of travel, can be fun but also not when it’s 6 weeks in a row

Cons

Super cut throat personalities from a group of people. People that bark the loudest but do the least. Instead of a raise, they will give you free tickets to an event. Lots of travel
