Stanley Black & Decker Employer Reviews

A typical day a work was very outstanding. You go to your assigned machine an start working making sure that you have all of your supplies that u need to assemble that certain knife. Great co-workers. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing at the end if the day I was able to reach my production goal that I was suppose to reach.

Black & Decker was a great company to work for. It really cared about their people. Stanley came in and "merged" with Black & Decker and took a dump on the people that got B&D to where they were when Nolan got greedier that what he was. The evident truth of the work environment is the fact that in the past year, people have been hired and have resigned – more... within weeks or months of being hired. That says a lot about the barbaric management the company has in place.

Your typical day at work consists of constant insults and frequent condescending. – less

Stanley is a great company to work for. If you're looking for an innovative employer, this is the place to be. I've enjoyed volunteering and giving back to our communities through the support of our leadership team, and greatly appreciate all that this company has to offer. If you're looking for an organization that will empower you to make an impact, – more... you should check it out too! – less

Lots of great people, wealth of knowledge and experiences to learn from.

Stanley Black & Decker does not create a work/life balance atmosphere for their employees. They make you work required weekends and holidays in a lot of cases.

People are put in management positions that lack leadership skills and there is little appreciation shown for hard work. The expectations set forth are extremely unreasonable. They also make – more... it very difficult for one to move to another department or role if they want to move up in the organization. – less

a typical day at work is very stressful but the majority of low level people is really nice. I have learn so many new things here. the bad thing is that the majority of the management is terrible, is all based in "chemistry" or if we are friends you will be fine if not... well.....
the best is all the nice and hardworking people in the company.

I loved my co workers. They were the best part of my job. I was just a temp. You never knew if you were going to be coming into work, just for them to tell you to go back home because they didn't have enough for you to do. Half of my time was spent cleaning the place, becuase they didn't have enough work for us. The management was horrible! I have to – more... say, I've never worked somewhere that had management that screamed at their employee's so much. It was crazy. It made you nervous, wondering if they were going to scream at you next! The pay was decent though, especially if you got overtime. – less

it's hard to say what a typical day at work would be because of the slow and busy day . i couldn't tell untile they would let us know what the day was going to be like.
i learned alot of thing when i worked for the copmany i enjoyed working there and i enjoyed working with my co-workers and the hardest part of the job was waitting for work to be droup – more... to be pulled and shipped out . the manegement was really nice and understanding . i enjoyed going to work each and everyday because of my co-workers. – less

I handle an average 130 incoming call per day, consistently surpassing the set 110 required. I had worked closely with customers in the past, but learned quickly that having a very open and positive attitude is extremely helpful when working with a high volume of customers. My co-workers are professional, easy to work with and fun. I enjoy what I do – more... very much, there is not much that I consider hard. I enjoy getting an upset customer satisfied with the service they received and laughing once I have completed the call. – less

I worked with the company for 24 years would of retired with them but they closed our plant in Riverview Florida and moved it to Kentucky.

A typical day for me at Stanley Black and Decker consist of first article inspections and sign off's, daily floor audtis and various chemical testing in a lab enviorment.
I have learned at lot about an industry that I otherwise would not have any experience in especially pertaining to the creation of raw rod material in to wire and then further on in – more... the process the creation of Nails and staples from that wire for the Bostitch Line of Stanley Black and Decker.
My Co-Workers I have found to be a group of driven outgoing individuals with a joint focus on succeeding not only for themselves but for the company as well they are a dealight to work with everyday.
The Hardest Part about my job is that there is never enough time in my day to accomplish all that I would like to in a single day. And the ability to progess further up the ladder of the company.
The most enjoyable part of the job is collecting data and relaying information which allows other associates to achieve the quality production results that they are capable to of . – less

Black & Decker was a fun company to work for. Lots of work and not easy but seemed rewarding with contests, bonuses and such. Enjoyed my co-workers, management was supportive and family friendly. That was before Stanley and Black and Decker Merged in early 2010. Stanley became the dominant say so and changed everything over to their way of doing things. – more... So long Black and Decker. I also agree with other reviewers in that if you are hitting the age 40yrs+ mark with Stanley, start looking! – less

Don't believe anything management says. Be prepared to work day and night, weekends, vacation and holiday. Also be prepared to get the boot once you start to get up in age (45)! Stanley does not value their employees that's the bottom line.

took me 8 yrs to learn to run assemblers on my own. was not easy teaching them to others, if not a multi-tasker, or interested in machines, but i loved the challenge of learning new things and staying busy.

like my job.lot of good people to work with,im willing to lean more

Great Culture, Good People and a good place to work.

Coworkers are willing to help but can be handicapped by the culture.

hard working love this job people are easy to get along with.. pays good

Management is bad. They find people who are desperate for a job, then work them like dogs. All others are on the nepotism plan. I like my co-workers.

Enjoyed management and got along co-workers I have no complaints and the atmosphere was such a great place.

Their own outplacement people in MD call B&D a "toxic place to work". Managment consists of people who cant actually perform the work - they just got very good at talking about other people's work and did very little of their own. Very unsupportive and they tend to favor people who are not in a protected class - " under 40" then out the door. I relocated – more... from another division and truly regretted it after about two months. – less
