Pros

Most of the people that I worked with were great, and most of the time it wasn't a bad place to work.

Cons

Over the past several years merit increases did not keep up with inflation, and the difference in merit pay between did not meet, met, and exceeded expectations was only 0.1%. It became clear that there was no reward for extra effort. "Let no good deed go unpunished".

Pros

I find salaries are competitive, good benefits that include pension and matching RRSP's. Management is fair with all employees in my experience. I have had the opportunity to have multiple careers at Rockwell Automation.

Cons

American ownership, Canadian employees are now understanding what it is like to work for a US employer. Company now looking at long term financial impact, instead of retaining experience and dedication. Reorganizations happen frequently, exspecially in sales. Bottom line is more important now than ever. Downsizing is occuring and it is mostly twenty to thirty year veterins. This reduces the long term pension costs in Canada.

Pros

Would have said stability until the recent restructuring and downsizing. Now they have become as any other US based multinational, just with a great benefits program.

Cons

Management focus is on shipping $ in the current month and quarter. They do things to meet numbers that make little sense.
