Very friendly coworkers Fairly supportive coworkers Good pay (initially, getting a raise is a much different story)

Cons

Overly critical management Lack of appreciation Management offered very little support in the way of advice or resources Management often forgot to follow up on projects and then threw employees under the bus Management sent inconsistent and often contradictory messages to employees Excessive overtime Poor employee moral, which became pretty depressing after a while

Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear about your felt lack of support. It is important that employees feel supported and heard in their jobs. We promote a culture of resonant leadership, and are in the process of rolling out organizational development and management training programs to support and drive that type of leadership across the company globally?

Pros

Good products with large customer base. Product development is innovative and willing to work directly with customers. Base pay for sales reps is improving after the acquisition by Emerson Electric. The Emerson Electric acquisition is received positively by the customers. Internal training is good and readily available. Collaboration between the various departments is excellent.

Cons

New management is focused on running the sales organization by spreadsheet metrics vs. obtaining and improving customer relationships. Product pricing and sales approval processes are very complex. Customers are seen as captives and when they request reasonable changes to their contract, they are often denied if there is not significant revenue growth (results in bad relationships). Sales management is spending more time in internal meetings than with customers and their reps.
