Pros

Generous pension (really an additional savings plan) for those who will remain there for over 3 years, school benefit pays past IRS cap if you can get it approved and it's a job.

Cons

Company is not doing well financially, has been unable to pay bonuses for two years and does not look like they will pay bonuses again next year. Company has expensive health insurance deductibles, monthly premiums and does not give you money towards your HSA. Company employs multiple older systems and processes and has very little interest in updating to more modern technology.

Pros

Great people, good pay, good benefits

Cons

Limited advancement potential. Flowserve is a manufacturer of heavy industrial equipment - over time layoffs have been more frequent. The company is doing the right thing for shareholders by pushing towards moving to low cost regions for manufacturing and engineering, but that leaves those working in USA plants in a not-so-great position. As a result of drive towards globalization, advancement opportunities continue to diminish. Flowserve is currently taking opportunity in market downturn in oil and gas to really speed up plans to eliminate USA jobs and move to low cost regions.

Pros

The direct employees are extremely competent, easy to work with and many are very loyal. They have a wealth of subject matter experts in Utah, Cookeville, Essen and Linkoping that will be retiring soon with nor heirs apparent. They let you keep your frequent flyer miles and do not take them for wives to use on annual executive team building trips.

Cons

Dallas executives do not understand that the culture of pitting manufacturing sites against each other is not conducive to global team building. Top down Management decisions with that ignore input from experts. No open door policy. As a whole, the Executives who profess the philosophy of outsourcing engineering and manufacturing as a lower cost to India is akin to the Hans Christian Anderson story of The Emperor's New Clothes. Unless you worked at Masoneilan, there exists no upward mobility. Valtek, Durco, Sereg, NAF, and Kammer former employees will never make senior executives for Flowserve
