Pros

Worked for ITW for over 10 years. The benefits were great.

Cons

Actually pretty much everything was great about ITW until major changes in management took place. The company I had worked for that cared about it's employee's no longer cared. Very sad that a company no longer values it's employees as one of its greatest assets. I was just one of many long time employees that was forced out.

Pros

Great benefits, solid operating philosophy, excellent results over the long haul, many talented leaders and employees.

Cons

Haven't equipped employees to handle the changes coming from applying the "Enterprise Strategy". Shared Risk is a foundational principle but not practiced. If someone is struggling, they call them "B Talent" and terminate, no matter the demonstrated past performance record. This has become demoralizing and is resulting in a workforce that keeps their heads down and doesn't take on risk. This is not ITW culture.
