Pros

Milwaukee Tool is truly an incredible company. It was obvious to me on day one why the company has seen tremendous growth -- a never settle mentality, profound investment in not just products and technology, but its employees and facilities, and the the value it puts on its team members. There is a clear hierarchy and ample training, which helped me hit the ground running. In my last role, I was under a tremendous amount of pressure to hit the bottom line and went to bed most nights worried about my future, but here I am energized and can focus on doing the best I can and then finding ways to do even better. The communications from the executive team make me feel secure in that the company understands why other businesses have failed and how we can avoid each of those pitfalls and continue our incredible growth. My pay upon hire was a healthy percentage above market and I have enjoyed perks such as stunning facilities, subsidized lunches, product discounts, schedule flexibility, casual work dress, and travel opportunities.

Cons

The company's rapid growth has stressed the availability of office space/parking and resulted in office sharing and moving, but I have been impressed by the company's willingness to invest in new space quickly.

Thanks for taking the time to share your candid thoughts, especially with your onboarding experience. We're so happy to hear the rework our hiring teams have done to the process over the last few years have had a positive impact on your start here at Milwaukee Tool. Our company has tripled our U.S. workforce in the last decade with 20% growth year over year. We understand there are some growing pains but you are correct in that we are doing everything we can to address them.

Pros

Coworkers, break room, and hours

Cons

Management and HR is a joke. They care about their "culture", but when you're open and candid, you get the short end of the stick. They expect you to do jobs that are not yours on a continously increasing pace. The supervisors won't get their butts out of their chairs.
