      Pros

      It's a small plant and the work is relatively easy, as long as you're willing to learn, can add and subtract, and work with decimals you will be fine.

      Cons

      Some of leadership is becoming toxic, morale is the lowest I've seen in a while. If you can get a 1st shift job you're golden. But if you're on 2nd or 3rd, you'll be screwed 6 ways to Sunday at some point. They don't care about people's lives or schedules outside Timken. Switch from 8 hour to 10 hour shifts, sure! Cut out a whole shift and move people around, sure! Go from working 13 days on 1 day off for close to a year to having no overtime at all, running out of work, and sending people home, yep!

      Pros

      Decent benefits and crew schedules

      Cons

      Management can’t see 3 foot into future. Work OT for months on end and doesn’t react to supply shortages only to cut hours and take weeks out. Hire right up till layoff only to then fire other members off shop floor while office continues to work like normal.

      Pros

      The 6 month training program, teaches you all you need to know and gives you a bunch of friends also just starting their careers, additionally they make it very clear that there are lots of chances to change career paths and move around if you get into the field and it isn’t right for you

      Cons

      You won’t know where you are living at the end of the training program till about 3 months in and the possibilities are constrained by open positions, however they do take your preferences into account and everyone got their first choice location in my training class
