OK - Not Great

Pros

Great benefits structure through parent company, annual reviews, standard raise at cost of living level.

Cons

Half of the business is driven by the semiconductor industry . This mean revenues and profits go up and down in very strong cycles. Whenever its down the company trims costs through layoffs.

Pros

Friendly co-workers and plenty of opportunities to get involved or lead various projects. Manufacturing is on-site so “can see” the product and work closely with other cross-functional team members. ITW is a great parent company.

Cons

Too many projects with not enough resources and senior management prioritization & support. The strongest workers seem to just get “rewarded”with more work.

Pros

now dont get me wrong Brooks is alright in about three categories, the insurance is absolutely phenomenal, 401k matching is also great and lastly they are understanding and flexible with scheduling and getting time off

Cons

First things first, as someone relatively low on the totem pole I do alot and I mean alot of other peoples jobs who get paid alot more than I do. Secondly, they have these quarterly meetings they make you go to and talk about how much money the company makes, then turns around and gives you a 13 cent raise (exact number) and a pizza party and thinks that's going to make everyone jump for joy, thirdly production people quite literally get treated like second class citizens, they have a party from 12-3, production gets 25 minutes to go out and be a part of the company while everyone in the office stays there for the duration, fourth are you a female? are you easy on the eyes? congratulations! your going to move up quick! under qualified? dont worry you'll do fine. Fifth favorites. favorites. favorites. Sixth there are people who have been working there for 10 years who arent making more than 12 dollars an hour. 12. Seven there have been random times where all the sudden Oops! we somehow dont have any work for an entire shift of people for two weeks so stay home and dont get paid (has happend four times in 4 years)
