Pros

A good work/life balance is important here. Top-Tier Benefits. Challenging and varied work for those in engineering. Nice cafeteria with nice people working there. Nice and relaxed work environment. People actually smile here. A growing company with ambitious and exciting goals. People take pride in their work and it shows in the quality of the product. A nice social environment. A team environment. Good employee/upper management communication. Overall very quality employees and co-workers, with few exceptions. The type of company that somebody can spend their entire career at. Nice company discounts on tools. A nice company location by a very happening city (Milwaukee) with lots to do around here. I enjoy coming to work everyday.

Cons

At times there can be very tight deadlines on projects. You need to be ready to support and verify what you do and why it was dome that way. Lots of college recruiting going on here with lots of young new employees who may not realize what a good company this is to work for. If you are a timid person this may not be the place for you. Some of the middle management is young and inexperienced, A bit cliquey here; It helps to fit with the right people. With the many smart people working here comes some strong heads. More diversity would be nice. There are nice social events here but if you are not the social type of person they can be awkward to attend, but attendance is always optional.

Pros

From the corporate office to the plants, Milwaukee Tool takes great pride in making the workplace a safe, fun and awarding environment. The Brand and branding message is amazing! It's the small things that make a difference, Milwaukee Tool offers Employee Appreciation lunches, great training opportunities, and empowers their people to make decisions! Milwaukee Tool is a very fast paced environment and we work for the end consumer. Our goal is to ensure that we make the BEST products that meet the end consumers need and will hands down outperform other brands on the jobsite!

Cons

Milwaukee Tool is similar to other retail type products. We are conscious of the bottom line, we live quarter to quarter...etc, I have worked at other companies that allow each quarter to dictate their plan moving forward, Milwaukee Tool doesn't necessarily follow that practice. That is a refreshing for a company of our size. No real cons other than work life balance can be difficult if the employee makes it that way.
