Sales Role
Jun 2025Bondi NSW 20269 to 10 years in the role, current employee
Don't waste your time, seriouslyFor such a big company Stanley Black & Decker has to be the most unorganized company imaginable. Topend pretend they are so busy they don't answer important emails or return calls to the rest of the team. Leadership is non existent and have no real direction, staff are all miserable. Honestly wouldn't let an enemy waste their time with Stanley Black and Decker

Least Dynamic company ever, bad culture, senior management needs to be let go.
The good thingsLeaving for a better company
The challengesNo one answers phones or emails, poor communication, they just keep buying new companies without sorting out the last issues. They may be the largest but they are the most disorganized tooling companies in the world.

Sep 2023Keysborough VIC 31731 to 2 years in the role, former employee
Not the best, not the worst. The team are usually great, the customers are horrible.
The good thingsCan be quite fair and reasonable and don't micro-manage (as far as I can tell)
The challengesAverage pay rate, everyone is busy and stretched thin so it may it difficult to rely on others (to no fault of their own). Too much red tape. Dealing with stores isn't too bad, the majority of end-users were horrible. Wasn't a whole heap of opportunity to advance within the company, they would attempt to hire internally but in all instances (as far as I know) they hired externally.
