For many years, Timken was the preferred employer in Canton for a lot of job seekers. They used to be known for caring about employees and the community and offering good benefits.

Cons

The culture has changed significantly over the last few years and especially since the split into Timken and TimkenSteel. Recently, they've communicated mass layoffs of almost all local IT personnel. Everything is moving transitioned to India IT.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary and benefits in a large global organization with a generally cooperative work environment. Organization changes ever few years so lateral opportunities exit.

Cons

Same general politics as elsewhere. Ongoing reductions in the workforce with expectation of higher output. No reward for risk takers. Status quo is tolerated.
