Shakeproof was once a great place to work....

Pros

Very good benefits. Its always helpful to have access to the resources of a Fortune 200 company. Shakeproof may someday return to being a good division of ITW.

Cons

Very little communication funneled down to employees. Much of management is dysfunctional and extremely disorganized. No clear direction and employees have little confidence in their managers. No one is held accountable for their performance or decisions.

Slow to change; executives don't stand behind their strategy

Pros

Great benefits, strong emphasis on community giving, lots of opportunity to work in a wide range of areas.

Cons

The corporate strategy comes across like lip service. There's all these pillars but no one is really seeing any movement. It's a hierarchical company, it's not very diverse and the 80/20 philosophy is over-used and has been twisted in ways to allow management to skirt real issues. People seem more motivated by fear than values.
