Pros

Good coworkers mostly, Good pay, Benefits ok but sliding. New changes were hard but firmed up the the slop which was good -but just with A LOT more blood to do it than was needed.

Cons

Pentair bought out Tyco and it went downhill from there. New Plant manager from Pentair was a NIGHTMARE. Was free to use whatever method to do your job and work on what you wanted -that's gone. Upper management is isolated and misinformed. All real engineering has been outsourced to India so don't expect to make an R&D impact -even if you're in new product develpoment. No true loyalty to employees even if you made and saved millions of dollars for the company. ...and then the layoffs...
