Pros

A big company for most who work here and those who want to work here to hide out and lay low with above national average pay, this will be your dream job. But for some of us who are educated and understand the process variation issues in molding, management and various departments this job is a nightmare.

Cons

Lack of management overseeing the departments that require a better communication. Department managers do not meet and understand molding. Technical employees with no degree are paid engineer pay and are part of the issues on the production floor. Quality managers have no follow through and experience to deal with drawing, measurement and quality data management for new and old product. This is left for engineering to reverse engineer poorly developed quality dimensions and manage quality resolutions on an engineer level. There are no DFM so old junk tools are rebuilt, no validation methods and no actual effective quality system that confirms process capabilities. This company is perfect for ex union workers who want to maximize their pay and do as little as possible...oh yeah and get a nice pension plan after 5 years.

Good working environment between managers, supervisors and techs. Interesting product

Cons

Incompetent upper management. Key managers have their own agenda. Most are overpaid and unprofessional.

Pros

The Wage is good as compared to other the factory job I've had. Medical and dental are good. Good bonus.

Cons

Bullies seem to be catered to here. I've seen a lot of unfair things happen at Stihl. There seems to be no interest in fairness from management or hr, in my opinion. In a large company, you might think hr/management would be determined to put harassment/bullying to a stop to the very best of their power... you would think but no. It would be in Stihl's own self interest to take a hard look at their hr policies on harassment and how things are actually being executed
