Pros

First, lets be clear, The Manitowoc Company does not have anything to do with Food Service equipment anymore. The company was split back in March 2016. Also, Glen Tellock is no longer the CEO, Barry Pennypacker is the new President and CEO. There were many pros at one time, but those have all gone away it seems. It was a wonderful place to work where people where dedicated to serving customers, but ignorance and wall street intervened.

Cons

1) There is no consistent strategy except cut your way to profitability. That is a bad strategy and will end in failure. 2) Honesty no longer is tolerated at Manitowoc. Promises are made then forgotten. 3) The new leadership does not seem to understand the products or services Manitowoc offers. 4) The company is ruled through cliques, so if are not in one, you are out. 5) Finally, the same staff that guided the ship into its current condition are the same ones guiding it today.

Pros

If you you like to do 2 jobs for the price of 1, then this is the place for you.

Cons

Upper management laid off 1/3 of the workforce, but some could afford 4 new vice presidents?!?!? Poor upper management chooses to hide problems rather than resolve them. If you want to keep your job then keep your head down & your mouth shut.

Pros

It's a job if you need one.

Cons

Low pay, too much overtime, no advancement unless you are friends the managers, leadership talks to you to any kind of way and want you to work hard. Too much favoritism..
