OMNOVA Solutions Reviews

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is an exciting time to be a part of the OMNOVA team! Our environment encourages employees to gain new skills and experiences and collaborate with others to improve our organization. I value open communication and have seen it make a positive impact on our operations. I am pleased to hear that you are observing this too. Continue to voice your ideas to support OMNOVA’s success for the future! I would be happy to hear any additional feedback you have as well. Marshall Moore Sr. VP & Chief Technology Officer

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We’re happy to hear you value the relationships with your coworkers and your overall compensation and we’re sorry to hear your experience did not match your expectations. Our company is focused on continually building a culture of feedback and communicating openly and honestly, spearheaded by our Level Up initiative. All employees are empowered to have Level Up conversations with their managers to address concerns, suggest new ideas, or provide constructive feedback. To further foster a culture of feedback, leaders of all levels meet on a consistent basis to share best practices, identify pitfalls, ensure alignment, and cultivate new ideas. While our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) members are stationed in Beachwood, the majority have a diverse background in manufacturing and plant operations—including our CEO, CFO, CHRO, and Vice President of SHE&S—and lean on their collective expertise in this area to solve complex problems at the site-level. When it comes to employee experience, OMNOVA conducts a quarterly Pulse Survey to better understand employee perceptions. Our Q4 results show the global average to be 4.6/6 in our values and leadership, indicating high employee engagement. Additionally, the rate at which employees voluntarily leave the organization is well below the national average. Although our overall employee experience is high, we recognize and understand our culture is not for everyone and wish you well in your future endeavors! Jen Sloat HR Manager, Beachwood

Thank you for sharing feedback on your experience at OMNOVA. We’re happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the many benefits we provide our employees. Preparing team members for advancement and career growth is a key focus for OMNOVA and I’m proud of our track record of success in developing our workforce to reach new heights! In fact, we recently just promoted a Production Operator to a Production Shift Supervisor in Auburn. Beyond development, OMNOVA has historically provided employees with annual wage and salary increases as well as participation in discretionary performance-based incentive compensation plans. As with most manufacturing companies, overtime is, at times, expected to help meet demands and is a normal part of business. While we always strive to create a healthy work-life balance, there are times ‘all hands on deck’ are required to deliver results and meet our customers’ needs. We encourage all employees to take advantage of our feedback program, Level Up, to help drive continuous improvement which includes expressing any concerns with their supervisor when it comes to work-life balance, staffing and scheduling, or any other workplace issue. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review—it’s important to us. Rick Washburn Human Resources Manager, Auburn

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback! I agree with you— OMNOVA has continually shown commitment to my learning and development over the past two years and throughout my time spent in their Leadership Development Program. My manager has empowered me with opportunities to work through challenges affecting the business, collaborate with peers, and present my ideas to leadership. My experience here has truly helped shape me into the professional I am today and I’m very grateful for it! I’m sorry to hear you did not get the level of IT support you desired while working at OMNOVA. As a member of our IT department, I can assure you the progress we’ve made in the past two years has significantly contributed to our technological growth as a company. One of those improvements was the implementation of our Cherwell Employee Support portal, creating a one-stop-shop for employee IT support needs. While there’s much to be done, I’m excited about the upcoming implementations in the pipeline. If you have any suggestions for future enhancements, please feel free to reach out to Mark Macioce. We welcome your feedback! Bojan Stojmilovic Senior IT Project Lead

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your input and are happy to hear you are enjoying your experience at OMNOVA! The growth and development of our employees is an organizational priority we take very seriously. For example, OMNOVA’s Level Up initiative puts emphasis on providing and receiving candid feedback, engaging in critical thinking, and having crucial conversations in real time. This approach supports our commitment to empowering and engaging all of our employees. If you have any suggestions regarding how we can advance certain areas of the business, I’d encourage you to share with your supervisor or any SLT member in a Level Up conversation! Sean-Paul Veilleux Talent Manager
