Good company that is a great education in management
Strategic Business Unit Finance Leader (Current Employee), Indianapolis, IN – June 16, 2013
Pros: good exposure to a results based corporate environment, able to garner a lot of responsibility quickly, locations all over the world
Cons: compensation is below average, and quite a bit of discrepancy in pay for equal jobs.
SBD is a company where if you are in the right position, you get excellent exposure as to how big time business is run. With proven competency, a person has the ability to advance up the ranks to manager level quickly.

Great company but unstable management
Retail Specialist (Current Employee), Huntsville, AL – May 4, 2013
Pros: sales team can set own schedule and routing
Cons: frequent business strategy changes and unstable management
Before the merger with Stanley, Black and Decker had a move forward spirit with tons of personal interaction between management and its field personnel. They are now a numbers driven, management top heavy company that changes sales strategies and management on the fly. At times no one knows who does what and who is in charge. There is a distinct lack – more... of trust of management and quite the division! My co-workers are excellent! They are the grunts of the company on the ground making the sales! I enjoy the freedom of making my own schedule and setting my own hours(mostly). There are now mandatory 6 day work weeks with no over time(work half days). Cost analyst and accountants dictate how the business moves. Cost cutting and outsourcing has created a larger divide. Newly graduated college students are frequently used up until they move on and use the company as a resume builder. Very little longevity in management. – less
