Pros

Pay and benefits. Good opportunities to volunteer in the community.

Cons

Toxic hierarchical antiquated culture. It's like working in the mid 80's and the employee's are at the whim of the oligarchy. If you want to feel passionate and connected to your employer and colleagues, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Adequate benefits. Never work overtime. If you’re early in career, good place to get your feet wet and go.

Cons

If you enjoyed high school, ITW is for you. It’s chuck full of gossiping, back stabbing, and cliques. High performing or doing the minimum for your role, guarantees a 3% increase. There is no incentive to go above and beyond. Inconsistent policies. Some managers allow work from home, others don’t. It’s not job based. Most jobs can have a flex schedule. Harassment and abuse of position are tolerated, creating a hostile and unhealthy work environment. HR sets a low bar for employees to meet. This company could be great if it changed its antiquated views, implemented 21st Century policies, and held employees and senior leaders accountable.
