Pros

The CEO seems like a straight-forward, stand up guy. Great location downtown for the most part.

Cons

This company is backward in it's thinking. Processes are from the early to mid 2000s. People are paranoid and have no personality. HR turned over nearly 80% in the span of six weeks and got worse. While pay is good, the people must hate their families because they never go home. Technology might as well be calculators as it is poor.

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
