Pros

Big large international company, diversified and has been around for a long time. Known to the commodities market for many years.

Cons

Almost brand new senior leadership. Too much changes and profitability is declining. Worklife balance is not good as there are too many conference calls

A lot of "playing the game" in the corporate ranks

Pros

A lot of different businesses under one company means you have a lot to choose from Lengthy tenure of employees Promote within Employee purchase of salt is sometimes offered

Cons

Businesses do not communicate or work together so it is very difficult to move to another business A lot of back-stabbing, mostly directed to newer employees. Once you have a 3-5 years it starts to slow, but you still need to play the game for a few more years until your ideas or new ways of doing things are accepted. Multiple levels of leadership means unless you have it in with a VP or GM, you need to make sure your work is well known Promoting within has led to inbreeding of ideas and ways to do things Very low pay relative to other companies nationally

Pros

Good Benefits, great work hours, great co-workers (outside of a few bad apples), lots of opportunities, great experience, learned a lot.

Cons

About who you know,not what you know. Manager's advice to me was "fake it till you make it" which seems counter productive, but they are doing well and I'm going out the door.
