Pros

As an engineer in corporate, it is very true that this company takes quality very, very seriously. It was nice to work for someone that, while cost does matter, you can spend more than other companies to be sure you are the best. The people in the engineering group are great, mostly all car-people to some level, everyone gets along reasonably. The entry pay is acceptable. Right on national average. Work-life balance in the engineering group is good. There are times where you have to put long days in, but they are fairly rare.

Cons

The benefit structure of Snap-on is old school. The vacation accrual is 2 weeks to start, 3 weeks at 5 years, then accrual every 3-5 years from there. not terrible, but very slow. There is no new parent leave, you take unpaid time off, ladies can file short term disability. Health insurance is OK, no HSA option, EPO plan is very expensive. The culture is OK, but generally you are promoted on attrition. While the entry pay is agreeable, they give raises like any other corporation.

Pros

Almost everyone there were great to work with. Many very talented individuals in their field. I loved working with everyone from managment to the guys on the floor.

Cons

Some managment is a little outdated and prefer the old ways kepping some processes that need to be updated.

Pros

Company culture is highly dependent on your location, but as a company that was purchased by Snap-on, they do a good job making it still feel like a smaller "family" ran company, while getting the support of a larger company when it comes to investing in the property and benefits.

Cons

A lot of "corporate politics" to deal with in certain settings. Benefits are lacking for as large as the company is. (Better than smaller companies, but they could still improve).
