Pros

The leadership at the site is strong for the most part and most of the people in the company are great.

Cons

People leave Managers, not Companies and that is the case for me. My manager was a micromanager who thought that saying he wasn’t trying to micromanage somehow negated that he was doing it. When I resigned, he asked me to not tell anyone so he could come up with a transition plan. Said it would only be a day or so. Then the next day he posts my job internally and externally. The people I supported found out from the web instead of me that I was leaving. He never did tell me I was able to tell anyone. I gave three weeks notice and he asked for an extra week and I kindly agreed because I am a team player. He requested I cancel my vacation that had been pre-scheduled and got snippy when I said I couldn’t. Then the Monday after my vacation he condescendingly asked me how my vacation was. Very off-putting. My favorite part was when he thanked me for my 7 years of service on our team call, I had just shy of 9 years. Shows you how much he really cared about his team. The final slap in the face came after I learned that I had been nominated for a recognition award from a leader and he declined it because I resigned. I also believe he declined another one earlier in the year. Our Controller resigned in January and before he left he told me he put me in for an award for all my help on a large project that he knew my manager wasn’t happy I was assisting on. He never lied and I never received the award.

Pros

Stable employment and steady salaries. Employees are celebrating their 45th work anniversaries left and right. Do you job and you will always have a job. Restructuring happens, however rarely. The intellectual property owned by the plant ensures that Flowserve isn't going away for a long, long time.

Cons

Old school corporate culture. Resistance to WFH without a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ), in the name of "company culture." Unpredictable jerking between calling back to the office and WFH allowance. Sometimes WFH double standard intra-department without a solid justification.

Pros

Great culture and exciting goals.

Cons

Difficulty working in silos across facilities due to systems being different and not integrated into common system upon mergers.
