Best Tools Group Careers

Pros: I really liked my sales team in the Dallas, TX office. We had good camaraderie and supported each other daily. The benefits for the power tools industry were decent.
Cons: The company culture is pretty rigid for a mid-sized company. It's tough to get new ideas heard, even as a Sales Associate. Leadership talks a lot about change but doesn't always act on it.
Advice to Management: Listen more to your frontline employees, especially for those in sales roles. Modernize your approach to team engagement and career development.

Pros: I've worked here for a few years as a Manufacturing Engineer in the Detroit office. The team is really solid, and if you need to adjust your schedule for a personal appointment, they're generally understanding. For roles not tied directly to the production floor, there's some wiggle room if you talk to your manager.
Cons: True work flexibility isn't really a thing for most of us. A full-time remote option or even a hybrid model isn't available for many core manufacturing roles. You're mostly tied to strict onsite work hours, which can make work-life balance tough.
Advice to Management: Management should really look into offering more flexible work arrangements. Even a 3/2 hybrid model for engineering or administrative staff would make a huge difference. It's tough to attract new talent without it in today's market, especially for roles in the manufacturing industry that don't require constant hands-on presence.
