Pros

Milwaukee Tool is a special company to work for. Seeing the passion & obsession of ALL employees day in and day out is something I haven't experience before. From the jump, you are given an immense amount of responsibility which for the right person is extremely gratifying & motivating. While the workload can be exhausting at times, it is outweighed by the pride I have in working for this company. Very cool to be a part of Milwaukee Tool's historical success.

Cons

The workload & travel can get exhausting but comes & goes depending on your projects. On paper, the salary & benefits sound great but are not sufficient for the responsibility & workload that is required of most employees. The amount of hours worked do not match the pay. Especially compared to similar companies.

New Tool great, Diversity/Inclusion Not So Much

Pros

There is a emerging modernization of the work culture. They pay is fair relative to local rates. Milwaukee Tool has a decent amount of brand equity within WI or workers in the trades.

Cons

The culture lacks meaningful diversity and inclusion strategies and efforts. So far, I've seen a very white male dominant culture - often resulting in chauvinistic and discriminatory practices. I've also witnessed unprofessional outbursts from senior leaders (ex. CFO and President Power Tools) include but not limited to yelling at employees during meetings, talking/laughing with each other while lower level employees are presenting, and making jokes about peoples appearances (stature, clothes, etc.) in public forums. While they "started" a diversity and inclusion effort more formally on 2/26/20, it's limited and doesn't address the core issues. In fact, they adjusted the objective of the initiative to delivery "diversity of thought, experience, and background" but didn't provide measurements of success or mechanism to affect internal culture.

Milwaukee Tool Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with Milwaukee Tool. The information shared on 2/26, regarding our Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, was an overview of the exploration the cross-functional committee has been working on since early 2019. It is our priority to build a culture of diversity and inclusion that supports all employees regardless of gender, experiences, and backgrounds. Our diversity committee is growing, expanding, and building formal plans to ensure diversity is not an initiative, but a foundation to our company and pillar in our culture. We value your perspective and encourage you to join the team leading these initiatives.
