Pros

This should really be a 3.5. Milwaukee Tool is an awesome place to work, there are just some big downsides to be aware of. -A ton of leeway on high dollar decisions, ability to start category at young age -"Get your work done and I don't care where you're working from or when" is generally the mentality on my team (have heard different about other teams) -Work with high energy people who are passionate about what they do -Growth!!! Lots of growth and opportunity. Both for the whole company and as an employee. -"Candid" gets thrown around a lot as a culture pillar, but I really do think Milwaukee is better about laying issues out on the table and working through them versus other companies where it turns into a blame game -Travel to cool places -Team bonding is encouraged and leadership throws events to thank employees

Cons

-No human way to accomplish all to-dos, so you often feel like you're half-assing some tasks -Very inconsistent across teams as to who gets promoted or recognized with rewards -ZERO visiblity to anyone under manager as to what the bonus structure is or what peers' salaries are. It feels sneaky and is a bad look for leadership -Basically all old white dudes running the company, often restricts the amount of support for important iniatives like better recuriting practices,
