Pros
Work-life balance is great. You get paid decently for the short days.
Cons
Very Political in Management. No room for growth or moving upwards. Low pay, hires an inexperienced management work force. High turnover due to poor leadership on floor.

Pros
There are some great people here that want to see the company succeed
Cons
Horrible culture - not inclusive and lacks any sort of diversity. Wants to transform but no one is held accountable. Had such turn over in leadership, people no longer respond because they bank on new leadership to change the direction on a regular basis. No continuity. No such thing as a team environment, there is so much CYA that a person won't hesitate to place blame on another. There was no onboarding... process. You had to figure it out on your own without a lot resources willing to help you out.

Pros
Strong products and known brand. Now part of Emerson family - better fit for growth now then when under Textron.
Cons
Lacking Diversity - Caucasian Males dominate upper management. No collaboration - too departmentalized.
