Lack of Strategy limits Company Potential - Anonymous employee Emerson Employee Review

- No overall strategy means every 3-4 months your priorities shift. You'll never get any projects completed, so your performance will always look mediocre - Extremely political. There are chosen ones, and there is no way to break into that fold unless someone high level retires - Extreme nepotism, getting worse during downturn - Internal promotion process is terrible. You will not get anything more than 6-9% for job promotion, and yearly will always be less than 3% - Extremely fat layer of management, a lot of people in offices that won't ever be going anywhere any time soon. Expect a barrier to promotion - Aging work force, they do a terrible job of cleaning house in the older groups and they churn through the younger work force. First ones laid off are the young ones, which is only making the age gap worse - Pension was pulled in 2015, and new 401k match is not very good. No reason to retire here
