Pros

None, every contract we loose something. I don't think they will be around much longer.

Cons

If you aren't telling on people or doing drugs and drinking buddies with management they crapp all over you. I wish I would have never took the job. Swing shift for everyone so management gets your pension cause you die early from swing shift. Totally ruins your life. Stay away...

Pros

The pay is decent, but I doubt that it is disbursed fairly.

Cons

An environment that does not favor anyone who does not have a friend or relative who is employed at the company. Not favorable for anyone who believes in discipline.

Pros

Timken provides fair pay- that is a decent living wage for the work but nothing great. Good benefits insurance, 401k,and tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Due to the split of the company into Timken and Timken Steel; along with current market trends, the company is currently in a "down cycle", which means layoffs and downsizing.
