Pros

Pretty good place to work and we actually work hard and make stuff. If that is how you choose to earn your living. If not then please go somewhere else to obtain your bread. A lot of good people who work hard every day. Sometimes you can get lost in the shuffle but believe me each of us counts. Because we don`t carry extra staffing. We work hard to be good environmental neighbors and keep each of us and our contract friends safe. A lot of smart, hardworking people and good benefits make LyondellBasell (at least in North America) a good manufacturing company to work for.

Cons

Middle management gets pretty goofy sometimes but I think this is pretty much true of any manufacturer so don`t blame us for the worlds problems. Don`t know about upper tier but 'the apple doesn`t fall far from the tree' right?

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
