Hostile Takeover

Pros

Prior to the merge, a lot. Wonderful people, great DEI initiatives, a light hearted environment and a flexible WFH schedule.

Cons

Since Elkay merged with Zurn, Zurn has been actively attempting to burn down everything I really enjoyed about working at Elkay. The freedom to flex policy has essentially been revoked, demanding a 4 days in, 1 day at home with "manager approval" system. Despite employee uproar and rising gas prices, with wages trapped to meet them, C Suite management has refused to meet any of us halfway. They've pushed out a lot of good people from Elkay, and knowing that Zurn came to the table with zero DEI initiatives, I loathe to think what they're going to do to our employee resource groups. If you're looking to join this company, run.

The Chronicles of Rexnord

Pros

Health insurance and snack room

Cons

There is a toxic work environment that is negatively impacting the viability of the company. In addition, favoritism and bullying is encouraged by management fostering unhealthy work environment and at the same time, it is negatively impacting the morale, productivity and interdepartmental working relationships. The poor leadership (Yes, the new management) fosters unprofessional and unethical behavior resulting in low morale among employees throughout all the departments. Furthermore, it is causing irreversible damage to the company. It is frightening to comprehend their so-called quality approach which ranges from highly inefficient to non-existent and only adds to the company’s inability to perform. Planning department is a hoax/jester…. Normally, Planning, along with scheduling, provides the glue for bringing all of the reliability processes together and maximizing the opportunity for “uptime” and more reliable production. NOT at Rexnord.

Pros

They try to be very inclusive, calling all employees “associates” and having regular company-wide updates which amounted to going over reports.

Cons

Company is all about bean counting as far as I could tell, wanting constant reporting. They bought my company World Dryer and then proceeded to fire half the staff. No offers to try to use existing talent in more efficient ways even considered. Just hacked up the staff and moved on. Management at World Dryer was partly to blame. It was run by a venture capitalist whose goal was to give the appearance of a functioning sales department to make the company more attractive for sale. False quotas were obtained by Regional and Inside Sales representatives who claimed to have generated sales when all they were doing was giving pricing to distributors who were going to buy our products anyway. Management didn’t seem to really care about actually growing the brand as long as it appeared to a potential buyer that there was a functioning sales department, which there obviously was not. The honest reps who actually worked to create new business were erroneously judged against the reps who took credit for the false sales.
