Pros

It's job with benefits and some opportunity for growth..Along with tuition reimbursement. It's also a family oriented environment.

Cons

It's a none Union company. It doesn't have accumulative sick time nor does it have personal time. Not very good at communicating changes within the company and doesn't train employees very well. They also don't put in any effort into sponsoring from within to personally grow their employees.

Pros

Klein tools is a very large company but they will not make you feel like a little fish. You should have easy access to upper management and there is a team atmosphere. You will be working for a company that is well liked and known in their industry.

Cons

In my experience, Klein wants you to be a self-starter. If you need to be micro-managed, this is not the place for you.
