Pros
- Emerson has a mature set of processes to run the business which help keep it consistently profitable and stable - Large company with lots of opportunity if you are capable of moving frequently - Great people who care about each other and the business - Good development opportunities via training programs - Pretty decent IT group. Solid in terms of what equipment is provided to you standard
Cons
- Difficult, if not impossible to have a leadership career here with dual income households without mobility - Management can seem to prioritize making the quarter's numbers, giving up larger long-term benefits, because the pressure coming from the top makes them feel they should - Pay raises started strong, but trailed off rapidly when the pandemic hit and never caught up - Sometimes too conservative, giving smaller competition an edge which they run with to steal market share - New product development often comes from acquisitions or is slow compared to competitors - Management commonly has little to no expertise in lean or process improvement so the business can be slow and inefficient. It seems every improvement is attempted via tightening the screw financially without an understanding of how to achieve the actual improvement
