Pros

Lots of learning opportunities as there are lots of things to improve around the place.

Cons

- Management is disconnected from the reality of what needs to get done and how much it takes to get things done safely and correctly. - Old equipment cannot be replaced or properly repaired due to very little investment; everything is a hot fix. - No respect for working hours. Expectation is to work at least 50-60 hours a week when salary only calls for 40. - Management has no clue how to manage a team properly. - Crazy high turnaround all across the organization, even for key positions such as plant manager and production manager.

Pros

Nouryon offers competitive pay and benefits, talented employees, and quality products.

Cons

My experience was negatively impacted by the leadership within my department. Feedback was often critical instead of developmental, communication was inconsistent, and priorities frequently shifted. The company's primary focus seemed to be cash flow and financial metrics, often at the expense of employee development, collaboration, and long term process improvements. While financial performance is important, investing in people and creating a supportive culture is equally critical for sustained success.
