Pros

I have a job that supports my family and pays the bills. I have health insurance and a 401K plan.

Cons

All of the departments at headquarters are under staffed and over worked. You are given more work than you can possibly do. This leads to employees making mistakes and costing the company money and squashing moral. Everyone at headquarters only motivation is to make sure that every goal they have defined at the beginning of the year is met, regardless of what it takes to do so. That’s because their year-end bonus depends on how many of their goals were met. That means management is quick to point fingers when their goals are not met and the worker bees become their victims. The only people the company hires are college graduates with MBA’s. They pay them a minimum entry level salary based on the chemical industry average. For the most part, they stay for a year or two and then leave for greener pastures.
