Pros

Offers a good benefit package. Good people to work with although most peers are so unhappy with current conditions that it has become a negative environment. .

Cons

Poor leadership. Lacks any real knowledge of customers. Working in an outdated business model. Cares more about shareholders than employees. Margin more important than market growth. That's fine, but can cause lost customers because of severe cuts in product offerings making us less competitive. Not competitive in salary.

Pros

Medical Benefits and 401k is the only reason the current employees working at subpar performance.

Cons

This division of ITW is toxic. The company performance is below satisfactory. For the past 3 years they have not been profitable. Over the past 2 years more than a dozen employees have left the company due to new management. They recently removed the whole Engineering department due to low revenue generated by the company. Management doesnt understand how to run a component company that strives on new engineering design. Very political, unorganized, and toxic environment is the reason why the company is doing poorly in sales. All the employees have a dark outlook due the annual cuts the company has done over the past years. Below average pay grade.
