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.
