Milwaukee Tool reviews

Occasional overseas travel can be difficult

- Company software to manage projects and documentation has been a complete failure and creates more work for the workers than it helps. - Very high turn over, the company likes to hire inexperienced young kids right out of school who usually leave within a few years. -Toxic work environment, managers use intimidation and guilt against workers. - 60 to 70 hour work weeks - much lost time from family - A gossip culture with most talk about hoe co works feel unappreciated. - Product quality is terrible, almost everything is made in China or India. - Meeting production release schedules took priority over product quality. We would regularly release products knowing they had bad software, electronics or gears. "we can worry about that later, but we must just get it out" - Poor pay, miserable raises - Marketing regularly makes delivery commitments on new product while never involving the actual people who are responsible it gets done. We weekly go into "fire drill mode" and you have to delay other products and outsource at high costs to meet deadlines. - Extremely poor communication from management and directions are never clear. - Use of "information power is rampant. Manager and senior employees always withhold information in effort to retain power, not knowing people have little respect for them.
