Pros

Great employees and first level management. Base compensation was competitive but no compensation based incentive programs.

Cons

Upper management, VP and President, are more concerned about the shareholders and profit margin then actually taking care of their employees. I understand there must be a balance, but Emerson has lost many good employees, including myself, by turning a blind eye to their employee’s needs.

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.
