Pros

I've built my career at Milwaukee Tool in challenging engineering roles for just over 20 years. Compensation and benefits are good, I've never found a good reason to move on. I've always had opportunity to advance my career and continue to learn. Especially over the past 10 years, the aggressive growth and furious pace of new product development have been exciting to be a part of. I can't say enough about the unique culture here. Milwaukee management takes the time to recognize our accomplishments and pay it forward. For example, they rewarded us with an impressive workout facility after delivering a key strategic initiative. Milwaukee has been very profitable, and the best part about that is we continue to invest in key technology to drive innovation. As an engineer, that means new toys to play with ;) We have milestone celebrations where the whole campus shuts down, we bring in food and beverages, and the company band plays. Other fun perks include Brewers and Bucks games, team building events, annual bowling tournament, annual golf outing, summer picnic, and many more. I really enjoy the youth that has been injected into our culture. Mentoring bright young engineers fresh out of college has been very rewarding for me. Personally, the best part about working at Milwaukee is our reputation. When I am out in social situations, I always ask what people do for a living. I listen to their story and I can't wait to tell them that I work for Milwaukee Tool. Almost every time they know the company, love the product, and conversation takes off from there. I am truly proud to be part of an such an awesome company and culture.

Cons

Growth is a good problem to have. We've had to work around building expansions, parking lot expansions, etc...

Pros

The coworkers are great and make you feel very welcome and supported. There is always someone around to help you if you have any questions. The projects I got to work on were varied so I never had a dull day. I gained experience in all areas of my field and had a nice mix of easier projects and projects that challenged me. Pay is great especially for an internship and the work enviornment provides space for collaboration, individual work, and lots of natural lighting. Management was amazing and willing to help tailor your experience to your career goals as well as allowing you to work on a flexible schedule.

Cons

As with any job, the workload fluctuated. There were times I had plenty of projects to work on and a few times I struggled to keep busy. Past orientation, there were not many events to help interns in different departments get to know each other.
