Pros

Good Pay, great discounts on tools and products, nice building to work in

Cons

They pride themselves on the 'Candor' but my manager routinely got mad when I brought up inefficiencies and other issues I found. Make a point to be anti-environmental, such as getting rid of ALL recycling in the building, routinely telling stores to just throw the lithium batteries in the trash instead of recycling, and banning you from bringing in any reusable containers to use on the salad bar and thus forcing you to use the crappy one-time-use plastic container. Speaking of which, the salad bar is the only thing that is actually edible for food there - I never got through a single hot meal as it was disgusting and/or was either raw on the inside or completely overcooked. I even got food poisoning twice. It's also a very Bro culture and witnessed coworkers routinely talking down to female colleagues.

If any employee feels that they have been subjected to harassment, or if they have witnessed someone else being harassed, they are required to report the incident to Human Resources for investigation and resolution. Please contact the corporate Human Resources team to share more information on what you have experienced while working for Milwaukee Tool. We also have a designated battery recycling program for all of our locations. We will strive to do a better job in communicating how and where to recycle batteries to ensure they are being disposed of properly.

Pros

The culture here is amazing and you are able to grow at your own pace. There is also something special with how my teammates and I interact. Everyone that works here is focused on two main goals; achieve number one market share in every product category and developing friendships with co-workers that will last a lifetime.

Cons

It can be difficult work to some. I enjoy the flexibility and thrive in a work environment where I am allowed to make the decisions that I believe are best for my market. But some people need more structure and line by line need instructions on how to go about their day.
