Pros

Great people to work with. Many have been with the company for years and have lots of experience.

Cons

Being a business unit of ITW the primary purpose of the company is to get the profits from the company and squeeze it as hard as possible. There is a lot of turnover in management and many of the new managers don't appear to have any idea how to run the business. If the business doesn't meant it's expected profits expect layoffs and terminations.
