Pros

There is a great deal of opportunities for growth in this company. I am always getting challenged to try new things and take on new challenges. Insurance is great.

Cons

compensation and time off are low. HR refuses to negotiate vacation time when you hire in so no one gets increased vacation time even if you are a experienced professional.

Pros

ITW exposes you to all aspects of a business very early in life. Given the business structure in ITW one gets hands on experience of leadership and backed by simple business management tools, the learning curve becomes very easy. Top management is professional and invests in developing people.

Cons

The small size of the businesses becomes a limiting factor in one's learning. Company is somewhat conservative in approach...less of risk taking.
