Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Leadership teams would benefit from more walkthroughs in floor departments. attempt to be more interactive with Production employees to eliminate the divide.
They drive the 80/20 business model
Focus on the important stuff!
Review from Operations Dept
Supervisors do all they can with what they are given.
Shift supervision is good and do the best they can with what they are given
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Transparency, there are many times the information provided to all employees isn't the pressing issues the company is dealing with.
Sould be more self thinking not company yes men.
New honest leaders would be nice. The biggest issue, the leaders need to do just that, Lead, and stop allowing the HR woke agenda to destroy
Learn how to be a good leader. Be a proatice leader rather than a reactive one. Please be more approachable. Also would help if you learn to be more professional.
Thinking more about their employees

What is the best part about your compensation package?
The bonus structure is average compared to the flexible films market. The health insurance and 401k at ITW is above average.
Has a very strong benefits package
Our benefits are excellent...and very reasonably priced. They triple match my charitable contributions also.
Good insurance and 401k match
The 401k match is excellent. ITW uses strong data to ensure that wages are set correctly.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
No bonuses for Shop floor workers or incentives to perform.
Expected to work with subpar equipment, and to be paid based on experience and performance/ equality in the plant
They say pay is based on performance and experience it is not. They give you what they can get away with.
Ignored and disregarded by management.
Fair compensation for the level work done with proven results. New HR director that understands changing times, data utilization to make win-win decisions.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My sales colleagues are seasoned sales folks and great team players. My VP GM is ex sales and does a great job in leading our group.
My team worked hard and knew their business. Our GM didnt have a clue. All his efforts were about getting a promotion. He was good at that.
Team members work well together
Teams is very friendly, open, welcoming
Entrepreneurial spirit in a large company
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Communication is key to any success
Some of my team I’d do anything for some I wouldn’t attend their funeral
Poor management causes stress and hostility towards fellow co workers
Review from Operations Dept
Pay attention to their products and help each other out more.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people. The expectations from ITW corporate leadership are unrealistic, but being surrounded by talent makes the journey easier.
The divisions act like small companies, we own our destiny
Focus on employee engagement activities
Review from Operations Dept
My co-workers are great people.
The descentralized culture allow us to work more confident in take decisions and actions which give us a great enviroment in our company
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Have management listen more to employees concerns
Eliminate complacency in middle to upper management, replace HR department staff.
Wages... possibly go back to 8 hr days so people aren't so tired plus have time after work to do things. Change our pto from taking 1 hr increments to 1/2 hr increments.
Review from Product Dept
Communication with management to production employees
The wages need to increase a decent amount. Cost of living is ridiculous and our wages make it extremely difficult to stay afloat financially and that includes working 19 days straight just to get double time to help pay bills.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Interview process is very professional
It was a long time ago, but I got to meet a lot of people before making a decision to join.
Quick to hire and fill roles
Meeting several levels of management and my peers.
Executive level aproach and transparency
Review from Product Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Nothing to improve at this place.
It lacks basic and simple professionalism
Stop profiling people just on their looks and assume they live a certain way, asked irrelevant questions
Stop profiling people on the way they look and assume something
What makes you most happy at work?
Working with a great group of people
Working in an environment where I learn and experience best-in-class business practices.
That I always reach my goals and challenges with my work
Interessting and challenging tasks every day. Good interaction in a big team. I give and get trust and respect.
My coworkers make it better
Review from Product Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
We have a unique film that customers cannot source elsewhere. We charge an egregious price for it and our service is average at best.
I'm speaking from an employees perspective, I do not deal with the public to know
More instructions on the job jackets
That we get more knowledgeable employees
Management asks you to fill out certification papers checking the box everything is in great working condition when lights are out literally reprimanded for answering the lights arc out answer the way we told you or find someone who will. Hostile work environment all keep iSO cert.
