Pros

Growth opportunities, end market growth The aerospace group is the reult of multiple acquisitions over the past 5 years and therefore should be viewed with muhc scketicism. The hydraulics group is the worst of any of the 5 Groups hving been the result of the Vickers Aeroquip acqustion and some other horrile acquisitions over thee past 10 years. Then there is the shining star electricla group whihc has the Westinghouseand C-H brnad pedigree whihc makes it great to work for.

Cons

Inexperienced management. Soul-less brand. Outsourcing fleecing of american mfg jobs. Num ber one goal of sr management is to reue tax rate by setting up Swissco tax structures for Rick Fearon.

Pros

It is a positive work environment, for the most part. The pay is highly competitive. There is some effort to adhere to ethical standards.

Cons

All the walls in the whole place are painted gray. blah! shoot me! All the cubicle walls are gray. shoot me! The doors are gray. shoot me! The display case is gray with gray shelves. shoot me! Thank goodness the cafeteria is not gray. The upper-management area is not gray. (??) It is unclear whether the company is interested in the 'image' of a company that is concerned about ethics, or if they are really concerned about ethics. I think they are really concerned about ethics, but some managers don't really get what it ought to mean to be concerned about ethics.

Pros

Strong company with a good mix of manufacturing capability. Positioned to be a powerful 21st century manufacturing force.

Cons

A corporate mindset that stresses mobility has resulted in a very high turnover rate at the lower and middle levels.
