Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of room for advancement in Canton, Ohio, domestically and internationally. Business casual dress makes working at Timken comfortable. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

There is somewhat of a line in the sand between hourly and salary employees. It is often a challenge to compromise on issues. Also, the "new generation" of workes starting at Timken are sometimes given a hard time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Timken is a respected company in the industry for its technical competence and engineering achievements. It is a global company that may give opportunity to live naywhere in the world.

Cons

There is very little accepted input from those that are closest to the market. It does not value the importance of the sales relationship to the customer nor the knowledge and experience that sales may have to the process.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are decent and will relocate employees for career development.

Cons

No diversity, unless you consider aging white men diverse. Majority of plants are in small back country towns. Aging manufacturing plants along with an aging workforce. They only cost saving initiative they have is laying off employees. Good old boys network. If you are not in the club your career will not go anywhere.
