Pros

Nice people for the most part, average to slightly above average compensation

Cons

no work life balance anymore..., when people are cut, sacked or leave they are not replaced. Senior managers believe that everyone should be working themselves to death regardless of pay grade or job, values displayed are lip service. Nothing will change until all the good people are gone.

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
