Pros

The pay is decent, but I doubt that it is disbursed fairly.

Cons

An environment that does not favor anyone who does not have a friend or relative who is employed at the company. Not favorable for anyone who believes in discipline.

Pros

Timken provides fair pay- that is a decent living wage for the work but nothing great. Good benefits insurance, 401k,and tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Due to the split of the company into Timken and Timken Steel; along with current market trends, the company is currently in a "down cycle", which means layoffs and downsizing.

Pay is decent and they have small hourly bonuses.

Cons

Very dirty environment working on very old machinery. Rapidly loosing people and not replacing them. Lots of uncertainty for the future with this company.
