Pros

Employee benefits are competitive and community support is good.

Cons

Business units are decentralized so this review may not be applicable to locations other than the one I have experience with. The unit I worked in was very autocratic from the top. Employees were not recognized or appreciated for contributions. People were numbers, not names. ITW trains employees on ethics expectations; however, this was not followed by the top mgr for this location.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
