Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, Scheduling, Team work, Benefits, and Fast Pace

Cons

Orientation is a little wonky. You learn a lot about items that do not pertain to the field that you will be involved in. So it should be more focused for your job specific role. 401(k) - There should also be stock options. This would encourage those that are looking for a long term career at Milwaukee Tool to push themselves in their fields to see the Company succeed. While 401(k) is good, the stock option would be better and encourage the culture that Milwaukee is known for. Maybe do 1 year on job Salary Employees can purchase stock. For Hourly maybe 3 years on the job and then you can buy stock. Let the Employees become invested in the success driven environment, which will make Milwaukee Tool the set standard for the industry.

Pros

Great culture- Collaborative environment, employee development programs, team building and family events throughout the year, community involvement encouraged, and more. Also doesn't hurt working for an organization that makes high quality products and is continuously growing!

Cons

Maternity/paternity leave policy needs to be updated. All other benefits are competitive.

Business Outlook

Pros

-Majority of coworkers are awesome individuals -Frequent opportunities to advance -A lot of autonomy over projects/decisions -Moving downtown (most of marketing, some engineers) -Get to work with all parts of business, great exposure -Travel frequently -True sense of community -A lot of fun work sponsored events/gatherings

Cons

-Workload can get pretty insane in order to hit growth targets -Turning "off" and work-life balance can be difficult -Minimal training for new managers -Engineering still very male dominated, company as a whole very white. Would love to see dedicated resources to improve this -University recruiting strategy driven by employees outside of HR/talent acquisition
