      Pros

      You can call yourself employed.

      Cons

      Impossible to take vacation when you would like to, especialy around holidays and at close of quarters. You get a paycheck that is difficult to decipher and you play hell trying to get your money if there is a mistake in Timken's favor (underpayment) - they (I say "they" because there is no HR department) will tell you all about the language barrier due to payroll being outsourced to somewhere in India. However, if they make an error in your favor (overpayment), they have no problem fixing that very quickly! All in all I'm just glad to be going to a company that has payroll in this country and an HR DEPARTMENT ONSITE!

      Pros

      Pay is ok and I have a job currently.

      Cons

      Remote plant locations, discourage taking a sick day even if you are dying, high deductible medical plan basically is awful, can't get in touch with anyone in benefits if there is a question or error, no raises...ever. The a/c in my office doesn't even work correctly and they can't afford to fix it or the leaking roof. A lot of people getting let go right now both salary and hourly at many plant locations. Pretty much everyone is constantly in fear that they will get their two weeks notice.
