It is an awesome job right out of school. Great pay and benefits.
Cons
Unless your manager is willing to go out of their way for you, you probably will have a terrible time figuring things out on your own and moving up in the company. Boring and tasks become routine. You deal with incompetent store associates at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Advice to Management
Take care of your great employees so they can move up in the company instead of offering them one way to go (market manager) in an area they don't want and then forgetting about them.

Pros
Great group of people to work with. Projects are rewarding most of the time. Management is on top of breaking through road blocks that may slow down a project.
Cons
Pay is not the greatest; investment in employee training could be higher; depending on location, growth can be slow; too many projects have deadlines set before project scope is defined which result in very aggressive deadlines leading to corners that need to be cut to meet them.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Stanley Black & Decker full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Large company, great culture, great people, iconic brands, a lot of lateral and upward movement available.
Cons
Lack of process, HR policies unclear, employee benefits first to go during cutbacks, hard to increase salary and benefits once you're in.
Advice to Management
Small investments in your people will go a long way. Adding more people to the bonus plan won't significantly impact the bottom line but will greatly improve employee satisfaction. There also needs to be a much better onboarding and HR policy.

Pros
The people are nice, and it's kept me there over 10yrs.
Cons
Moving up within the company is hard
Advice to Management
When someone applies for a position from outside or within the company read the complete resume, pick the most qualified, and be a little harder on employees and supervisors to do their jobs.
