Klein Tools reviews

15 years ago is roughly when I hired on, salary was decent but benefits were amazing and that is why I made my choice. Since then things have deteriorated, benefits slashed blaming the recession all while the company maintained record margin. Now the benefits are average at best and salary below average. I've waited it out hoping for the company to make the right decision and boost total compensation back to average or above average but that looks like it is not going to happen. No support or "reward system" for thinking outside the box or driving positive change. In many cases this causes high levels of inefficiency. I pain to say this but because of the above, there are many of us that have been around the block that know the system and skate by looking like heroes while these younger ones who are really making progress get steam rolled. Reading the other reviews reinforces this. I can't watch anymore.

If you are seeking a Recruiter position, this company and their TA dept may not be the best fit for individuals seeking a supportive or structured work environment. The expectations can extend far beyond normal working hours, normal projects, and the level of oversight may feel excessive for some. Compensation was a concern, as it did not appear to align with industry standards or remain consistent across team members in similar roles. Greater transparency around pay structure would be beneficial. Turnover on the recruiting team is relatively high, with many employees staying less than a year. Based on my experience, onboarding and training were limited, and there was an expectation to perform at a high level very quickly. This environment may feel challenging for those who prefer a more gradual ramp-up period. While some hiring managers were collaborative and supportive, leadership style at higher levels could be perceived as inconsistent or difficult. In certain situations, communication in meetings came across as unprofessional - and at times unethical - which impacted overall team morale. There were also instances where workplace concerns did not appear to be addressed as thoroughly as expected, which may be important for candidates who value clear policies and accountability. Overall, I would encourage candidates to ask detailed questions during the interview process about team turnover, training, expectations, and compensation structure to ensure alignment with their preferences and ethics. Also caution that their benefits are incredibly outdated. Ask for their benefits package before proceeding with interviews. Specifically ask about parental leave, PTO, and 401k.
