Pros
A company with three unique plants that gives a lot of experience and exposure in the chemical intermediates industry.
Cons
When looking through the reviews you notice some of them are good and a lot of them are bad. The good ones come from places like accounting, finance, and HR. The bad ones are mostly coming from the engineers and operators. AdvanSix has an incredibly high turnover rate on these essential personnel which corporate has disregarded as “normal turnover”, and now it is one of the most dangerous plants in the area run by 20 years olds replacing engineers that leave with 5+ years of experience (the 20 year olds are cheaper). The CEO was recently asked what moves will be made in regards to the high turnover, which was played off as an opportunity for movement. In reality, its been an opportunity for the engineers and operators to double up on work with no compensation. If AdvanSix made tin cans, this would be okay. The company is one process disaster away from a complete shutdown and the knowledgable people making the product safely are leaving due to poor pay (compensation is so bad that promotions barely beat inflation, and in normal years you are guaranteed to be below inflation), poor hours, and no acknowledgement from management that they have done a good job increasing stock price by 800% in the last year. No matter what your job function is, consider this when you apply there: if they lose their production personnel and cant make a product, the company wont be generating money. Not sure why the leadership team is willing to risk everything to save a few extra dollars and stuff it into their pockets.
