      Interesting and challenging work, Just don’t expect much support or recognition.

      Pros

      Flexible and challenging work environment. You are basically working on your own. Benefits are pretty much the same as equivalent companies. Pay is OK

      Cons

      Lack of leadership. Poor managers throughout. Run like F Troop. High deductable medical. Part of the Emerson conglomerate, which is not a good thing. (Emerson president sends out politically polarizing emails)

      Good place to work if you never want to advance your career.

      Pros

      Small town, where they are the largest white collar worker. Salary is decent given it is a small town and the cost of living is cheap. You know pretty much everyone in the company. The local level employees work well together excluding upper management. A good age mix of people working at emerson. Don't need a 4 year degree to work there. The company is relatively stable and has been for years, the customer base has core customers that I have not seen leave. If you don't like to travel you are not required to travel at all. People like to drink a lot if you like that.

      Cons

      Technologies are old and out dated, working in the job for to long is a dead end for your career. Management has only one selection criteria for promotions, and that's if you are best friends with the manager that is giving the promotion. Lazy people are often shuffled around when they are poor at doing their jobs, they are never ever fired. Don't need a 4 year degree to work there. Quality travel assignments are handed out to those that are liked sales cruises for favorites in engineering, trips to the north slope in Alaska during october/november if you are not a favorite.
