      Pros

      A great company history with a long track record. Dedicated business units producing excellent products. Professional atmosphere.

      Cons

      The business has been backed into a corner due to poor strategic planning, and management is not being held accountable. Many long term dedicated employees are being walked out in an attempt to restructure before its too late. Most of them are over 40 with many years of service. I would seriously avoid Emerson until major changes at the top have been made and the ship is righted again.

      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.
