Pros

The salary is ok with decent benefits. Support from fellow co-workers is great with the willingness to always lend a hand. Have not had any layoffs.

Cons

Management at superintendent level and above treat you like pond scum. They look at you as their inferior. Management is never responsible for their actions. Quick to fire, everyone afraid to lose their job if they make a mistake.

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
