Pros

It is a company where your ideas for improvement are considered and where you could work in team with other departments. The compensation is over the average on that city.

Cons

The company is located far from the city.

Pros

Strong brand image. Good office environment. Timken has some excellent people. World class ERP system. Average benefits package. You can make a living working there.

Cons

Senior Leadership is poor. CEO is an introvert and uncharismatic. Highly political atmosphere. Sending many salaried jobs to low cost countries after the major blunder of spinning off the steel business leaving middle management overburdened. Few technological advances in manufacturing. Working hard and being a high performer is not good enough. Sucking up carries the day there.
