Pros

Benefits! Time off, great culture towards safety. I would have stayed until retirement had I not met my wife to be and moved out of state due to her having an even better job than I had.

Cons

The people there really didn't appreciate how good they had it, seemed people became spoiled considering this was one of this best paying jobs in the area. Some programs where beat to death and others lacked proper training. I remember my supervisor giving me a task that had to be done on the computer, they had been given training on doing this and yet they didn't know what to do and expected me to even though I hadn't 'officially' gotten training as they had. This kind of thing happened often sadly.

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.
