Pros

Great Product!!! Bad Marketing department. Can't compete with the red and yellow guys. Need to clean house....... with the Entire Marketing dept and VP's

Cons

Bad Management! It is the "Good Ole Boys Club". ALL of the VP's need to take a few management classes on how to treat their employees, using today's technology and how to recognize talent. Makita will Never grow in the states with the managers they have on the bus. The VP's need to go on a team building retreat as they are constantly fighting and putting the sales people in the middle. GROW UP BOYS!!!

Pros

- Great work/life balance. - Great teammembers (outside of IT management) - Near market pay. - Good health coverage. - Annual Christmas tool raffle/prizes. - Professional development/e-learning materials are provided. - Working in a beautiful and modern facility (clean and well-kept)

Cons

- Toxic motivation practices by IT management (threats of termination, frequent negative reinforcement, calling out a mistake in a large email group with the intent to embarass the employee rather than addressing it one-on-one, asking other employees their opinion about another employee that is late once what they think about the tardy), - Misleading employees about new opportunities that don't materialize. - Micromanagement practices (reviewing every support incident, reprimanding after a single Teams message sent during a lunch break), - No performance-based raises. - No bonuses (except an $85 gift card annually). - Little-to-no advancement opportunities (layoffs to reduce headcounts were performed in 2023). - Very minimal (almost non-existent) training and sparse knowledge base documentation for new hires. It is mostly sink or swim. - No performance metrics or SLA to determine employee performance. Performance is often measured by emotions and the personal relationship with management.
