Pros
Only if you have to. Rhodia does not have a long term commitment to their folks. I can not give any good reasons to work for this company except if you are out of work and looking for something to tide you over. Most of the workers are nice and kind. Management is very strange and needs to learn people skills. They are hardly the brightest bunch I have ever encountered. There is little communication with management. If you are a temp, and that is about 50% of the work force any day can be your last.
Cons
Most of the employees are temps. There is a hiring freeze. Top management is French but OK. US management does not recognize talent and only rewards long term employees. It is very difficult to move from temp to permanent. Recent SAP implementation was not well done. Rhodia has substantial outstanding accounts. The price of the product has increased due to oil . There are serious problems with transportation and multi plant operations that are not being addressed. The quality of the staff is non professional at best .
