Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Good financial outlook for the company.

Cons

- Management considers people as replaceable assets. - No emphasis on training or continued learning. No formal training programs or curriculum. - Reviews are given based on subjective opinion based thinking with no guidance or specifics for improvement. - Has IT capability that is atleast a decade old, spend several hours each weak chasing physical paperwork that could be seconds worth of work on a computer. Company still gives desktops to employees!

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
