      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great salaries, above other chemical industries average salaries for a similar position

      Cons

      the workload is hectic and the stress level is beyond what is bearable (despite the zen attitude displayed by the management)

      Termination after disability

      Shift leader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I have no pros that I can think of

      Cons

      I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
