Pros

-Experience with customer facing events. -Presentation skill set will increase. -Emerson is a great organization; just not the Marshalltown IA location (GIS department specifically).

Cons

-Fraternity & non-professional environment. -Management only focuses on their careers and does not help facilitate career growth for their team(s). -Feels like you've entered high school (drama) as soon as you enter the floor. -Worked there for 1.5-2 years and was the most experienced person on the floor (low retention rate).

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.
