Pros

The pay and the benefits are pretty good, but that's about it.

Cons

Insinkerator used to be a great place to work for, used to be very family oriented with a great atmosphere. Then Emerson corporate took over and ruined everything, drove it straight into the ground. Now you'll be nothing more than a number to them, nothing more than a filled position. If you're not hitting rate and making them money, you're useless. Dont expect to go anywhere in this company, upper management will treat you poorly unless you're really good at kissing you know what.

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.
