Pros

Dental and Medical are good. Vacations are good. Hourly employees/supervisors/lower managers are all very good.

Cons

Too many to list, but I will hit the important ones. The COO on down to some of the directors are basically the worst collection of "leaders" I have ever seen. I am still not convinced they are just holding out to sell that part of the business. In order to hire an hourly employee, the COO must aprove of it beforehand. Extreme micromanagement. Everything must be run up to the COO before going forward. The engineering department is horrible. They could not design themselves out of a brown paper bag. The only sad part is that the chemicals and substances they are dealing with will kill in a second. I have no doubt in my mind that someone will get hurt if they continue to run and design things like they are. Anyone that could has left the company or is in the process of leaving the company. Watch what is promised in the job offer. A lot of what was spoken, did not come true.
