Friendly environment.
Administrative Coordinator (Former Employee), Bucyrus, OH –
Pros: benefits.
Cons: short breaks, company's change in attitude.
I sat up and operated fast-paced assembly lines. I had to conduct inspections to assure quality before shipping. I was responsible for overseeing the general operation of assembly lines to ensure that deadlines and daily quotas were met. Management was great to work with and I enjoyed working with my co-workers. The hardest part of my job was meeting – more...  deadlines when product was back-ordered. The most enjoyable part of my job was telling the employees that we made our quota for the day. – less

Very poor management
Engineer (Former Employee), Cairo, Ga. –
Pros: good benefits
Cons: poor layoff choices-poor managemant
I worked in very strategic and diverse positions during my career of 32 years in which I saved Timken millions of dollars. I invented machines that improved production, decreased cycle times, improved part quality, improved safety, and reduced repetitive motion injuries. I came up with innovative ideas that improved the overall quality of the workplace – more...  and created a pleasant work environment and improved moral.
I always gave 110%.
After all I had done and all my tenor, I was let go like I had committed a crime in May 2009.
The reason given was cut backs due to poor sales, but they kept their favorites who slept on the job and who stole from the company. – less

Forklift Operator (Former Employee), Spartanburg, SC –
How do you work for a company for a year and never get hired after apllying for different possitions then be expected to train people that have been brought in as FULL TIME employees and they have NO experience what so ever.

Great benefits package,competitive pay scale,leadership could improve.
Inventory Control Specialist (Former Employee), Duncan,S.C. –
Pros: great incentive package and competitive pay scale.
Cons: lack of unscheduled time off
As far as their overall benefits package goes it is very attractive.Spent too much time focusing and adjusting employee rules and scheduling.I felt that management was at times to worried that it's employee's might be discussing issues/concerns leading to serious questions about the direction things were going.
