Wondering about career path stability at Snap-on Industrials

Been with Snap-on Industrials for a few years now, mostly on the technical support side. Haven't seen or heard anything concrete about layoffs, but I've been thinking a lot about long-term career stability within the company, especially in this division. It feels like things are generally stable, but then you see news from other companies in similar industries and it makes you pause. How do others feel about their job security here? Are there specific departments or roles that seem more or less secure? I'm trying to plan my next few years and want to make sure I'm in a place that offers some level of predictability. Anyone have thoughts on what Snap-on Industrials' strategy might be looking like for the future, or any insider perspectives on how decisions are made regarding headcount?

I've been on the sales side with Snap-on for a while, and honestly, stability feels pretty good. We're pretty insulated from broader economic downturns because our customers (mechanics, techs) often need our tools regardless of what's happening in the wider world. Plus, the brand loyalty is insane. I wouldn't worry too much about the industrial division; it's a core part of their business.

As someone who's worked in a few different capacities within Snap-on, I can say that while no job is ever 100% guaranteed, this company has a solid track record. They tend to invest in their core operations and don't usually make drastic cuts unless absolutely necessary. The industrial segment is definitely a crucial revenue stream, so I'd imagine they'd do everything to protect it and the people in it.
