Pros

The pros of emerson network power are not very much. The work schedule is lenient, and my boss is actually a really good one as he cares for his employees. His bosses however...

Cons

benefits, lay offs, morale, pay, management, sales. I could go on and on and on, but these are the major issues.

Pros

Work life balance is good Benefits are good Coworkers are generally ok

Cons

Lots of processes...this company can make a procedure out of making a paper airplane, upper management will debate about it for more than 3 months, then turn around and ask why things are taking so long. When you are stuck on something, management will ask you to come up with solutions, proposals, then finally a recommendation for them...then they will ask you to provide progress reports on the implementation of said recommendation. So why do we need management if they are so “helpful”? Management is overbearing and feels the need to micromanage every detail. People are afraid to exercise any creativity in this company...toe the line and stay in your cube, and you will have a long and prosperous career. Management doesn’t care about employees, during the pandemic we were told in no uncertain terms that WFH is not a replacement for childcare and that you are expected to still have the same productivity as the world was ravaged by the pandemic. The company’s whole desire was to get employees back to the building as fast as possible to cater to a now retired CEO who sounded so much like Donald Trump. Btw vaccine wasn’t even available when they started ushering us back in. Finally quite a few lifers were laid off so shareholders can be happy...this company lays off people quickly when the economy downturns only to hire in new ones later...no long term plan in sight...just panic.

Pros

I learned a lot! Spent time working in the manufacturing area which is important in order to really learn about the different jobs while connecting with employees.

Cons

My manager did not like me working in the manufacturing area or attending different departmental meetings, she did not see the added value. It was truly a hostile work environment! I had never seen a Director throw his granola bar at his employees head and then nothing! That Director did not receive any type of disciplinary action against him because....that's just the way he is! WHAT! Like I said, I learned a lot and most of what I learned was what I did NOT want in my next working environment!
