Pros

Great pay and benefits. Good job rotation so you're not stuck doing repetitive work for an entire shift.

Cons

Employees that don't do any work get paid more than those that do. Recognition program is just a popularity contest. You only get 2 holidays off a year, and it's a dice roll as to which two. There are no excused weather days, you must use vacation if it snows 12 inches. Seems kind of strange for a company that is supposedly so focused on safety. I guess they only want you safe while you're there, you must be reckless in order to get there. If you decide to leave the company, and do it the right way, you still have zero chance of getting rehired, it's the policy. If you do leave, they will do everything they can to see that you never get another job anywhere.

Pros

Decent pay but you get that at most chemical companies. Actually much lower than most in our area.

Cons

Terrible management full of bullies. Constantly threatened with discipline or termination if you make a mistake. You feel more like a number than an employee. They expect you to work countless hours of overtime and holidays while they constantly take off to be with their families. Tons of paperwork and red tape. Lots of meetings that could have been emails.
