Pros
Omnova Solutions was a fine place to work in a turnaround situation from prior years of inefficiency, making it both challenging and exciting to implement new ideas and processes.
Cons
The machinery at the plant was over 50 years old and could not produce 21st Century laminates without significant capital investment which was not practical. As a result, the plant became a test facility for New Product Development, no longer a production facility, leaving me and all the Plant Leadership Team with a choice of relocating to the suburbs of Cleveland corporate headquarters or being laid off. Due to my strong family ties to the Lehigh Valley area, I chose to be laid off and pursue positions in this area.
