Pros

Great people and collaboration at lower levels Base pay on the low side, variable pay could be high vs peers - although sobered in past years

Cons

CFO cannot be trusted, thinks extremely highly of himself (arrogant) and does not care about people development. Takes every opportunity to recruit friends externally. New CEO largely invisible to the organization, very different than prior CEO. Very high turnover due to lack of opportunities, favoritism and external hires.

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
