Pros

Good pay Good bonuses Benefits are decent but not great

Cons

Up until the Fall of 2017, this was a great place to work, but not since then. Morale is the lowest I've seen. If you come to work here: 1) You will at some point be intimidated, threatened or bullied by THE manager. When it happens to you and you say something, you will be made to feel like you are crazy or that you misunderstood. 2) You will encounter negativity on a daily basis. 3) You will be made to feel like your job is not secure. 4) You will be made to feel that no matter how good of a job that you do it's not good enough. 5) Your opinion will not count. 6) You will not be empowered to make decisions on your own. 7) You will be retaliated against if you call out certain people's bad behavior. 8) You will take survey after survey asking for your opinion on how to improve things at the site, but nothing will change. 9) You will be told that safety is priority #1, but when a plant is down, you may have to work in unsafe conditions. For instance, we were made to work during the winter storm in February 2021 to get the ammonia plant back up and running. We could hardly walk without slipping, much less work, but there we were out in that mess trying to work. 10) You will wonder on a daily basis whether the good pay and bonuses are worth the abuse you receive.

Pros

Free snacks and coffee Anonymous Employee Feedback I joined the company with a positive impression and a strong desire to contribute. Over time, however, my perception of the organization has changed significantly due to my experience with leadership and workplace culture. My primary concern is the lack of support from management. Employees need coaching, guidance, and constructive feedback to succeed, especially when learning new processes or taking on additional responsibilities. Instead, I have often felt unsupported and left to navigate challenges on my own. There is also a perception of inconsistent treatment among employees. This has created concerns about fairness and has negatively impacted morale and trust within the team. When employees believe expectations are applied differently depending on the individual, it becomes difficult to remain motivated and engaged. Communication from leadership has not always been clear or constructive. Employees perform best when expectations are transparent and feedback is delivered in a way that promotes growth. Unfortunately, my experience has often left me feeling discouraged rather than supported. While the company offers opportunities and has many dedicated employees, leadership and culture have had a significant impact on my overall experience. I believe improvements in employee support, communication, accountability, and consistency would help create a more positive and productive work environment. This feedback is shared in the hope that it will encourage reflection and positive change for current and future employees.
