Pros

Emerson Climate is a very friendly place to work. Great people. The level of professionalism is outstanding. Flexible with time off where family is concerned (doctor visits, sick child, etc.)

Cons

Pay is lower than similar sized companies in the area. Promotions are slow and annual increases are low. It is difficult to move up within the organization. It's easier to look outside the company.

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.
