Pros

Occasionally, they had free food. A real plus due to the dearth of decent dining options in Lakeville.

Cons

Onsite Senior Management was the equivalent to a buoy in the ocean. It was almost if they were waiting for ITW to make their decisions for them. Staff "Engineers" were more like shade tree mechanics.

Pros

The people from middle management and down are great, easy to work with and very helpful to newcomers. Interesting work with something new to do every day. Company culture of caring for the community in which it resides. Machinist union shop.

Cons

Upper management has been making a lot of questionable decisions regarding moving to a new facility and moving production lines out of the country. Repeating same mistakes and repeated layoffs when they fail.
