Pros

Big company to move around between business divisions with a wide spectrum of jobs.

Cons

Like previous comments about being the squeaky wheel if you want to have personal growth. Very heavy Office Politics with "In" crowds.

Pros

It used to be a great and very stable company that would invest on their employees big time. There was almost no stress because the company provided the right tools to make it comfortable and stable at almost every conditions.

Cons

For such a big company with such a magnitude, they extremely under-pay their employees. A lot of people guessed my salary to be almost twice of what I made. It has become very unstable that everyone that I speak to that is still there seems to be miserable and worrying that they're going to be on the next round of layoffs. They're shipping their "American Made" equipment factories overseas to make a penny in profits. When you think you're doing an amazing job, all of the sudden they lay you off or move you to another department. I won't recommend this company to any person I care for, because I don't want them to be worry about getting laid-off every day. Ralph Liebert did not envision this happening to his employees when he sold his company to Emerson.
