Pros

Actuant offers good benefits, coworkers are very supportive and the products produced are good quality and have a high level of brand recognition in the industrial marketplace.

Cons

The senior management is so focused on the the bottom line that they forget about the people that are working to make things happen. Very little effort is put into training and promoting people. They are very quick to buy companies absorb and close down businesses and move them offshore. If you are a company that is purchased by Actuant watch out! Start looking for another job as soon as possible.

Pros

Access to projects you never dreamed you'd work on, just because you were in the right meeting or expressed interest. Unfortunately, most projects go to people who, like you, have no experience and do a mediocre job. Open door policy results in easy access to any executive.

Cons

The only leaders with Fortune 500 experience are gone...too different? Seem to prefer middle of the road educational credentials, so my colleagues aren't too intellectually inspiring. COO and CEO need to LISTEN and accept what info walks in their doors. Corporate Coach is a former broker, serves as the messenger between executives.

Pros

1 WFH day each week, used to be more 401k and health care is slightly above average

Cons

Zero Trust that you can do your role Zero Respect for hard work put in Micromanagement is rampant Revolving door of people, poor performers stay and the valuable people leave Increased dress code requirement in 2025, who does that? More important to renovate a new office space downtown, and pay to put your name on said building, rather than appropriately compensating employees Focused on adding new responsibilities and tasks rather than fixing the problems that exist within the existing processes. Everything I was told they were doing when I interviewed, systems and process improvements and career development, never materialized.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. As an organization of more than 2,100 employees across the globe, we recognize that experiences may vary by role and team. While we believe that this characterization does not accurately reflect our organization, we take all feedback related to management practices, process effectiveness, and career development seriously and review these areas regularly through structured employee feedback, engagement surveys, and development initiatives. Decisions related to workplace policies, office investments, and evolving expectations are made with long-term growth, collaboration, and sustainability in mind, and we continually assess how these decisions impact the overall employee experience. Our clarification of four days (Monday through Thursday) in office with optional work-from-home Fridays and a business casual office dress policy follow industry norms and support the culture and values we believe is critical to our success. In fact, the move to our new downtown Milwaukee headquarters has been overwhelmingly positively received by all our employees who enjoy the new space, the collaborative environment, and the many complimentary amenities (free espresso/cappuccino, free flavored & sparkling waters, free fitness center, free parking). We remain focused on building a workplace that supports both individual development and organizational success. In fact, we have made and will continue to make significant investments in new and updated systems and processes to make it easier for employees to do their jobs and utilize technology. And we encourage an environment of trust and respect for everyone, in part by setting clear goals for employees and empowering them to do their work, living our values every day. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
