Pros

Job itself was fairly easy for lab-oriented people

Cons

Managerial corruption Managers don't listen to the needs of employees No vacations(you work on Christmas, and if you want days off, you gotta work extra days, so it is not really a vacation) Employee safety is not priority. OSHA violations that have not been looked at for years. Company could not plan deliveries well, so every week we were forced to work on our weekends, giving us not even a whole day off once a week. 0 work life balance. Third shift was especially ignored and made to stay after their shift many times per month, with no notice. Managers blamed their employees for their own mistakes. Employees were given write-ups for things the managers did incorrectly. Human resources did not know what the rules were for this location. There was no job guidelines or employee contract, they just made up the rules as we went, which were always in their favor, of course.

Pros

Stepping stone and cash grab

Cons

This company is blacklisted by most other chemical plants in that cluster. Horrible management they have no experience outside of good ole boy system Operators are not team oriented and the union is not worth being in/ have not saved one employee ever. Corporate sticks besides management regardless of any wrongdoing
