Love my coworkers, not the job

Pros

The people I work with are amazing - many are friends that I spend time with outside of work. It's nice to be able to dress casually - jeans every day, etc. I like being able to travel every once in a while to visit customers and distribution centers. Benefits are great - excellent health care coverage, 401K contribution and matching. Work life balance was something I was able to take into my own hands. When I first started, I felt like I was on call, but my manager established the expectations so I don't check my work phone when I'm home.

Cons

Supply Chain roles are not defined, there are no set processes, task of defining this is assigned to employees instead of being provided by leadership. The pay is literal garbage. The impact our team has on the business as a whole is not even remotely close to proportional to the salary we receive. Not everyone is respectful of the work life balance. Some people work 24 hours a day. Company value of being "candid" only applies to men. Women are frequently told to "watch their tone" while men frequently and consistently behave rudely. This company can be quite sexist.

Pros

The company makes a great product. Really that is all.

Cons

The company will make all the kids in TTi think Milwaukee is the best of the best to work for. Milwaukee has absolutely zero culture. The senior management made up some ball of bull at their national sales meeting about what they believe the culture to be. Just so so bad my god!

Pros

The wage scale overall is decent

Cons

Not many minorities in a manager role, many one at director and none higher. But 90 percent of factory workers are minority...
