Pros

It pays the bills, Most at site are good to work with.

Cons

Management fearful of Jimmy boy and his followers. They won't make decisions for fear of the ax. Policies contradrict one another so it is a guessing game when trying to do what is right.

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
