Pros

Decent pay and relo benefits (at least for experienced hires) Exposure to large capital projects at a relatively low experience level Knowledgeable about most chemical units ops, good place to learn and grow your skils

Cons

Unreasonable working hours Promotions and training are entirely up to upper management, very political Nepotism and favoritism are rampant Hourly workers are given special treatment, salaried routinely berated and denied common perks of being a salaried professional

Pros

Sure - like many other corporations, they offer benefits (but have a history of reducing them after employment); market driven salary (that does not scale with positions outside of the midwest); and learning opportunities (they killed the department for talent management and global learning)

Cons

It's just another mediocre corporation, honestly. Very modest but consistent returns to shareholders for a very long time treating employees like cattle and burning anyone with tenure. In reality, I guess they have to do it -- it's a company built on a subsidy driven agricultural market. It could be worse but employee beware.

Pros

Job security. No one gets fired at the company for performance reasons, even though some really should be.

Cons

Compensation for work performed. Too often employee going above and beyond what is asked but the employee is not rewarded or recognized for the accomplishment. Lower employees working harder and better than those above them at plant level yet the ones higher in rank do nothing and take all of the credit.
