Pros

Rosemount (under Emerson Process Management) has a solid reputation and the profit sharing is outstanding. I last worked under a manager that really represented the company's values. As a group supervisor, she treated me with respect and always made me feel like my opinions mattered. Our team made a lot of improvements together and I felt like my contributions helped the success of the company.

Cons

Previously, I worked in the PSA group and that was the opposite experience. There is a lot of white male privilege and it's really obvious. One manager gave opportunities and big raises to his favorite. The other acted like he despised anyone not in a certain demographic and made it impossible for anyone to move up. He's the type who didn't pay much attention to his job and quickly threw his group under the bus whenever higher management started asking questions. No one ever wondered why he was always putting down his group. The HR person was of the same ilk and was completely ineffective. Last I heard, they were still in place and morale had been driven into the ground. This is sadly the kind of company where a middle manager moves into a position then they aren't evaluated anymore and can remain in place for a very long time.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
