Pros

Close knit plant environment, good people, honest intentions to provide a safe work place, consistent (but very small) annual increases

Cons

US Management has no teeth, all the strings are controlled in France, salaries are average to below average for similar size companies, corporate personnel have no plant experience, 30+ plants are all different and there is no continuity among them

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue

Pros

Site Culture Global specialty materials strategy has proven to be quite good

Cons

Resource constraints. But this is quite common in chemicals/specialty materials these days from what I hear.
