Pros

Great sense of culture and community. I love everyone I work with and they are all intelligent and hard working people. Has a great profit sharing plan for retiring.

Cons

Emerson tells you from day 1 that if you're there for money you're in the wrong place. No performance bonuses so all workers all get the same raises. During COVID, corporate rushed to get everyone back into the office. Didn't seem the safest despite safety being Emerson's #1 priority. Very hard to move up in the ladder. May have to switch roles and departments to get a big promotion.

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.
