Pros

It's great to work with leader / no one company. Good working experience and so gain in skill. Products are very excellent with long standing history.

Cons

Raychem and Tyco had build this product line and upon obtaining by Pentair shall be doing great if they change top bosses because it is assumption that technology (of Heat Tracing) is not important but only management drive.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay rate and benefits are fare. The work environment depends greatly on the location. Pentair integrates their operation site into the corporate structure unlike some conglomerates that operate like separate business units.

Cons

The corporate initiatives are not being embraced by all global business units. I attended a very expensive corporate culture event that was all but ignored by management at the operation site.
