Brilliant Young Professionals stunted by undertrained & overwhelmed middle management - Product Manager Milwaukee Tool Employee Review

The marketing team (and its leaders) like to think that it's the reason that the Milwaukee brand is so prolific. That team is bloated, undertrained, and uninterested in feedback from the young professionals they manage. Year after year, the exact same feedback is given to VP's and Directors - who ignore it and ostracize employees that try to speak up or try to keep their heads down and ignore the toxic culture. Middle managers don't know how to advocate for their direct reports or care to advocate for you. If you're not coming from TTI as a young grad into marketing, good luck getting very far professionally. If you want to go far, drink the kool-aid and toss out any pre-tense of "work-life balance" at Milwaukee Tool.
