Pros

Small company benefits are that you know everyone, and can generally have working relationships with everyone up to the VP even. The management tries to engage with the employees to figure out what they could improve on.

Cons

Because it's such a small company salaries and promotions tend to solely go up based on seniority. It's hard to stand out and get recognition.

Pros

There was nothing positive about working at Klein Tools.

Cons

This is the worst run company from an operational standpoint than any other company I have ever worked for. Management does nothing except talk out of both sides of their mouth. Do NOT even consider taking a job in Customer Service or the Credit/Accounting Department. HR does nothing either, so don't bother to escalate anything. It was, by far, the worst experience of my career. Management is ALLOWED to bully you, criticize you, curse at you... all while they do NOTHING and their employees suffer daily. I have never seen employee turnover at such a high rate but it is no surprise why. Once again, HR should recognize this and put two and two together with the many complaints they receive about these Managers and Directors. I saw first hand lying, stealing, and mistreatment of employees from management, things that you don't think exist in the workplace in the modern age we live in. Nothing will change until the dinosaurs retire and they they replace key people in HR. Get a job anywhere else but here. Trust me on this.
