Pros

Provides a steady paycheck and insurance. A few a managers are exceptional.

Cons

Lyondell has the false perception they bought Basell and Basell wasn't smart enough nor strong enough to argue the arguments. If you are one of the chosen ones you advance rapidly, if not you stagnate. Preach safety, however safety and some of the managers are the first ones to insist on performing an unsafe act. No pension plan, median benefits, pays lower than average.

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
