Emerson reviews

Despite Emerson's corporate values of supporting employees, management's exclusive concern is money money money, including lying to the Sales department about how many units the factory can produce in a normal workweek.\ FY2018 and '19's drive for record sales was done without regard for employee work/life balance -- months straight of maximum overtime has been the rule, rather than the exception. No hiring of a 2nd shift, nor even sufficient effort to hire enough new employees to reach normal staffing levels, just working the production staff to the bone and beyond. If the supervisor doesn't like you, or you make too many "complaints" -- suggestions for improvements, as required by Emerson policy -- you stop getting moved around to new stations for training, and you stop getting your training cards signed off. This results in employees not getting their promised one-year promotion. Supervisor will ignore blatant violations of rules (turning away from work to talk, not finding a new task upon completion of previous -- and instead just gossiping with coworkers, etc) by her favorite employees -- all of whom are within a decade or so of her own age -- and jump on the slightest hint of 'problems' from hard-working employees, without so much as investigating the reasons.

Very Siloed when it came to working with other departments within St. Louis. The older workers were never approachable and would see interns/co-ops/younger workers as threats and never passed along knowledge to get them prepared for the coming job. Great place to work if you are ready to retire, not coming out of college. And projects came every 6 months and the other 6 months you were waiting on the "budget" to be approved.
