Great Place To Work, depending on which office you work for...

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, co-workers & environment. Depending on which office you work for, Emerson is very generous to their employees! Anyone would love to work for this company. This is one company that I can say is loyal to their employees

Cons

You can be held back from growth if you are not an office spy or kissing up to your manager. Some of their managers are not trained on ethics and could use more training to better run their office.

Outstanding place to learn how to maximize profit in any business

Strategic planning manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company is extremely driven and focused on operational excellence and maximizing profit. Best routes to advancement are through Sales/Marketing (driving profit through price and sales) and Supply Chain/Operations (driving profit through lowering product input costs and inventory levels). You will learn outstanding principles for running a business for maximum profit.

Cons

If you are not 100% focused on and motivated by generating maximum performance and maximum profit you may not find a lot job satisfaction here. Hitting your numbers and continuously improving them quarter after quarter is the singular objective here. If you are looking for touchy feely "softer" rewards from your work, look elsewhere.....
