Pros

good location. strong company performance

Cons

Micro-management, empire building, low morale, ego driven workforce. Worst politics I have ever seen. Very conservative and strict culture, command and control are everywhere. If you don't question management or anyone you will do fine.

Pros

Flexible hours, good pay, work with minimal oversight

Cons

Focus on DEI, promoting women and minorities rather than based on Merit. Rate of turnover in management so high that many managers have little understanding of the explosive/chemical business fundamentals. Consistently restructure every 2-3 years often laying off experienced employees.
