Pros

Management is committed to transforming Morton from a commodity company into a innovator that puts its employees' well-being and company culture at the forefront. The commitment to health and safety is second to none, top to bottom. Christian Herrmann is amazingly accessible and inclusive as a CEO, and is strongly committed to Morton's core values. Many, many employees have been at Morton 20+ years, and show a lot of pride at being part of a strong brand that knows it must protect and live up to its reputation every day. Focusing on innovation and value-added products will stabilize the company against the commodity markets that are a huge chunk of its historical bread and butter. Benefits improve all the time, and a new performance management system will motivate and reward employees for their hard work. Morton also loves to give "swag" to its employees, and I see the salt girl everywhere I look at home and at the office.

Cons

There are bumps in the road with the transition. There is still an "old boys" network of long-tenure employees, and politics and favoritism are factors, as at almost any large company. There is a lot of volatility in the bulk deicing market, and in the parent company's potash market, so green winters and low commodity prices make a dent in earnings that can be worrying.
