Short-sighted "leadership" doesn't know the business or how to manage people

Business Outlook

Pros

ITW offers great benefits. Good Pay. ITW Pro Brands makes exceptional products you can be proud of.

Cons

New management was put in place in the summer of 2016 and sweeping changes have been made since. The new leadership does not understand the business and does not communicate with employees--or seem to value them. The only consideration is the bottom line, harshly so--and short-shortsightedly so. This used to be an amazing place to work and, in a heartbeat, it became a prison.
