Pros
Good place to START career. Fairly competitive compensation for initial job. A lot of hands on experience for chemical engineers. Because of company size, interaction with high level management is possible.
Cons
Small scale chemical operation without a lot of engineering opportunities. Major lack of industry wide experience common in larger gulf coast chemical plants. The company is biased towards textiles despite high margins and profits on specialty chemicals. Not many career paths available. Most employees seem to have "settled." Engineers inappropriately advanced to management in multiple circumstances. Operators lack skills, responsibility, and character of other businesses. Milliken has a high ethical standard and should hire hourly employees accordingly.
