Pros

Obviously it depends on the manager, but mine is not a micro manager and allows freedom in that regard. Depending on your area, they do have remote network access in case you need to work from home for an emergency.

Cons

Cancelled 9/80s, though they allow jeans on Friday now. No trust of employees from managers. Not well regarded the in community any longer following the bankruptcy.

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
