Pros

Good pay if you fight hard for it or remain for a long period. Top notch benefits, but they don't come cheap. Cafeteria daily specials made by in house executive chefs for just $5.

Cons

Bad location for daily commuting. Tend to hire for less than you previously made out pure arrogance and management bragging rights. Management is extremely over staffed, drastically over paid, and some are absolutely inept. Stuffy, old, cubical dense environment with suits everywhere and every day of the week. (Some areas slowing being refurbished, but the old school attire is not!) Continuous Improvement does not exist. Power Tool division is understaffed, see's high turn over, and is very poorly managed. Customers are paying 3-4x more than the competition and receive less. Too much focus on finances, not enough on making good product.
