Pros

If you enjoy working in confined quarters where everyone can hear your thoughts, or in a sweat factory for uneducated and unskilled Managers, this is the place for you.

Cons

Departments are understaffed and employees over-worked. There is no work-life balance. Positions and promotions are still given via the Good ol' boy network. It is not what you know, but who you know.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
