Pros

Indirect employees mostly want to make things better.

Cons

Pros

Great products, great people, flexible, great benefits. The product line makes it easy to sell. Everyone knows the name. Company vehicle is also a huge benefit.The new GM (Paul), is also phenomenal.

Cons

Since the acquisition there have been too many changes for the worse. No growth opportunity (for sales), drastic program changes, and event plant closures. These reasons kill moral. Also, since eliminating the sales development program, there is a huge gap in training.

Pros

Greenlee is an exciting company to work at because their business depends on releasing innovative new products. Additionally, younger engineers get real design work much sooner than other companies and there is ample opportunity for individual contributor's good work to be recognized. Benefits are pretty good and paid time off is probably above average especially for younger employees. Lastly, as an engineer, you can enjoy a great work life balance and are rarely expected to work long hours.

Cons

Like any other new products company (or almost any company in general), Greenlee plans projects optimistically and not realistically which almost always yields delays in the project plan.

Pros

Family Culture Lots of younger employees Good work life balance Flexible Hours Plenty of opportunities for development

Cons

Pay is a little low, but is improving Turnover is fairly high. Usually because of pay and location, Benefits got worse under Emerson.
