Pros

Great benefits, co-workers & environment. Depending on which office you work for, Emerson is very generous to their employees! Anyone would love to work for this company. This is one company that I can say is loyal to their employees

Cons

You can be held back from growth if you are not an office spy or kissing up to your manager. Some of their managers are not trained on ethics and could use more training to better run their office.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
