Pros

Great people, great systems / tools to get you functioning at higher levels; flexible work schedules; decent pay and benefits; multiple work sites within the Houston area

Cons

Bonus structure is opaque; job grade levels and salaries are opaque; hierarchy of internal divisions dictates status - not necessarily job performance; job compression (elimination or grade level reduction) is still occurring well past bankruptcy; employee retention is an issue, but not discussed;

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
