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.

Pros

Close to home, some good co-workers. Benefits are okay.

Cons

Favoritism, poor management, the most unhappy professional workforce I have ever worked with and a huge focus on meeting short term goals at the expense of long term goals. Few women in higher positions. Good old boy atmosphere. Lots of politics.

Profitable Company stuck in 1980s

Pros

Low stress a relatively good benefits. Overall fairly supportive management if you don't rock the boat with improvement ideas of your own. Go to work there if you want to cruise into retirement or want to learn how US management used to operate before lean principles were adapted and design was done in 2D.

Cons

Very poor compensation. 1980 technology and management philosophy.
