Pros

Long term co-workers throughout the office and plant were the best of the best that knew and did their jobs well and until the past 1-2 years took pride in all they did.

Cons

Management from corporate to the Paris facility just sucked the like out of everybody as well as the company. Could never figure out a way to make things work and unwilling to seek input from the "workers" that know their jobs. Their thought seems to be if you don't have a college degree, you're worthless for input. They only make profit from fancy accounting and transferring people to different "project" accounts and don't understand ther is still a bottom line. Taking from employees and cutting benefits is now a norm. Convinced they are forcing all 30+ year employees out because of high pay and vacation accumulation. Constant turmoil so employees will quit and they can replace with temporary employees. No future for remaining employees.

Pros

People that work there. Decent pay and time off, overtime if you want it, sometimes mandatory,

Cons

New management has no idea what they are doing getting rid of key people and expecting others to take on their workload without being trained to do so.

Pros

Hourly pay for union employees is competitive. Coworkers are very friendly and knowledgeable. JT Baker brand still has a good reputation.

Cons

Current management does not know how to run a chemical company. They are only looking to improve the bottom line by cutting costs, but unfortunately are chasing away the best and most experienced employees. Third round of layoffs in a little over a year, and more to come. Morale is at an all time low, and even the good workers that are left have no ambition to put forth an effort.
