      Pros

      For the area the pay is ok, with limited skills needed to get in the door.

      Cons

      They used to have a really good tuition reimbursement program, now they have regulated it to the point where managers control who gets it and who doesn't. No room for growth or advancement. Good job, bad career.

      Pros

      Company has been around for over 100 years. Pay and benefits are average. Most of the employees are good people to work with.

      Cons

      Management worried too much about what the plant looks like to the eye rather than organizing things that would make it easier for workers to perform their jobs. Example: Too much time is spent looking for things that have been misplaced because no one knows where it supposed to be or where to put things when they're done with it. Some workers with less talent get preferred treatment with extra overtime hours or promotions because they are "kiss ups" or "rats" while more talented people are stuck where they are.

      Timken in AZ is a joke!

      Pros

      Excellent pay, benefits and good co-workers.

      Cons

      Incompetent Arizona management. Constant turn over and loss of amazing talent. Working for Timken was nothing less than working for almost a dot com start-up.
