Pros

Solid brand name in industry.

Cons

Old mature industry, profit margins are scaling back, Snap-on looking toward a cheaper labor force. My salary was cut by 50% in 2 years, they tell you via email. I was in the top 20% in Sales. CEO takes about $9M a year out in "stock options".....while they cut the workers salaries.

Pros

Work from home, flexibility, ability to make own schedule, great brand recognition. 401k, pension plan and stock buying options.

Cons

Need to improve technology tools available to sales reps. Recent changes to the commission structure do not support the current business trends or market outlook. Sales people wear too many hats which takes away from selling time. Compensation is 60 to 75k depending on territory. The car allowance compensation policy need to be restructure to reflect the job demands, gas prices, wear and tear on vehicle. The feeling among employees is that we no longer work for Snap-on or our to provide solutions to our customer needs; we now work for Wall Street.
