Pros

Pay is good, benefits are okay (not great)

Cons

They should start the university of micro managing. Moral took a major blow in the past 12 months after making progress from an all time low. A lot of employees are looking for other opportunities. Benefits and pay are good, but not as good as other companies. The team atmosphere has diminished.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
