Pros

New CEO had some good ideas to propel the organization into a new and winning position.

Cons

Managers at lower levers are not qualified to be leading people. Unrealistic expectations with an extremely over complicated project execution process creat bottlenecks when the organization is as lean as it is.

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
