Not a Good Company to Work For

Pros

Local company with reasonable work hours.

Cons

Where to begin... - Salary is lower than comparable roles within area. - Insignificant pay raises (we did not receive any last year). - Insignificant bonuses (less than 30% of what we should have received). - Little opportunity to advancement. - Ultra-conservative (it is frowned upon to leave your desk to take a break - literally had a manager tell me that no where in the hand book does it state you are entitled to a 15 minute break to stretch your legs). - High turnover - the best and brightest tend to leave within a few years. Only older folks close to retirement seem to stay.

Pros

Job security is a plus. as long as you're hired on full time and your attendance is decent, you won't lose your job.

Cons

management is apathetic at best, nepotist at worst. they only enforce rules and expect work from good employees and fail to compensate good performers

Pros

Best at what they do. Do what they say. Customer focused. Always purchasing new companies which diversifies yet strengthens the total Timken experience.

Cons

Cant wear jeans every day.
