Pros

I worked for Liebert, who is now owned by Emerson Network Power. When I began there seven years ago I was proud to be part of such a great company. Although we worked a lot of overtime, I was happy with how we were compensated. Medical and dental insurance, 401k with company match, quarterly bonus, free gym membership, flex time for appointments during the week, company Picinic, children's Christmas party and so on...

Cons

Everything started to crumble once Emerson took over. Other than health and dental insurance and 401k tge company took most other perks away. When you spend most weeks working 50-60 hours, those extra incentives mean a lot! Not only were the benefits lacking but business has gone down hill in the past year to year and a half. Layoffs are a constant scare AND reality here.

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.
