Pros

Benifits were some of the best I had or heard about. Awesome health plan, 401K, Tuition reimbursement, dental, vision, paid vacation, the industry is heading into a new era with Building Information Modelling using 3d software to see the finished building before it's finished, great severence package, tried to create a very soft landing for the unfortunate lay offs

Cons

The downturn in the building industry has led to a lot of turnover at the top, leading to product and software goals never being fully reached before a change in direction. The downturn also led to many cuts leaving some customers without the support they once had. No room for advancement at the office I worked at. I also had trouble with their COBRA provider, ITW looked into it but eventually never resolved the issue.

Pros

The company is owned by Illinois Tool Works. Both ITW and Loma are well organized, professional companies that know their place in the industry. Great benefits package, good management, great employees. Compensation is a bit under par.

Cons

This company will work you to death. This company reschedules everything with their customers 4 times. The company is understaffed in the field, both sales and service, drastically. The company takes excessive time to accomplish mission critical, time oriented/deadline tasks.
