Pros

- Average benefits when compared to others process safety jobs in industry

Cons

- Salaries are not competitive with the rest of industry for the process safety engineer skill set - Work culture is very localized - Management does not seem to trust employees - Lacks diversity in leadership (no women or individuals of color) - Revolving door for talent; low retention of young employees - Poor job of matching talent with position role & responsibility needs - When a business unit says you'll be on call over the weekend, expect to work 90% of your on-call weekends since the leadership does not make financial decisions in a timely manner in order to address the recurring issues that come up on the weekends

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
