Pros

The people I work with are great and generally speaking want me to succeed. In my experience, if you ask for help people are willing to give it, but people are busy and you have to ask. The executive committee has made a real effort to improve communication and I think its working. There is also currently a lot of work being done on the facility which is nice. During the pandemic, they have been very accommodating to ensure employee safety while maintain productivity. I have a lot of room to grow and a lot of people willing to help me get there.

Cons

On-boarding is tough. MTS has so much tribal knowledge and it can be hard to learn what is going on. The products are hard to understand and there is not a great knowledge base that is easily accessible.

Pros

The company is owned by ITW and some things have been an improvement that came with their ownership. MTS has been a great company to work for and has had good management that was in many places promoted from within. Historically compensation was fair and at times well above average.

Cons

Sales professionals compensation has always been based on Salary being 50 percent and commission plans being 50 percent. However the new ITW compensation plan for the sales team in 2025 was implemented to minimize the amount of money that could be earned via commission during the fiscal year and designed to punish sales persons who did not make at least 100 percent of their goals by making them pay back commission paid out during the year. This is an unacceptable plan and borderline unethical. If you are seeking a sales job, my advice is look elsewhere.
