      Pros

      It looks good on your resume if you list your time under Emerson Climate Technologies instead.

      Cons

      Absolutely terrible leadership in operations and manufacturing. All the bosses hide upstairs. They don't make decisions, you can never find them when you need them, and then they point the finger at the lower level employees when something goes wrong. All the talented people stick around for 2 years or less and then leave.

      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.
