Pros

Decentralization means you get to experience many different aspects of the company, since they are run like small businesses. You aren't stuck with your "job description". As a coworker put it, you "wear many hats" at ITW. As a result, there is not a lot of layers in management, and thus a lot less red tape. Since you get to do a lot, the job is rarely boring. There is always something going on. Great for starting a career because you build a variety of experience very quickly. The benefits are good, and the people are good to work with.

Cons

Decentralization. You are expected to do a lot of things that aren't in your "job description", and you are expected to do a lot, period. Not many layers up and down to advance.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
