Pros
Emphasis on safety. Part time benefits. Good overall compensation package. Training/development opportunities. During the late 1990s, early 2000s, management repeatedly shrank research budgets/centers/salesmen, until one day someone realized that Pioneer market share had been decreasing for 10 years. Voila, pump $100 million into research and the performance of products is improving.
Cons
According to the DuPont safety principles, "management is accountable" for safety, but every single accident report always pins the blame on the employees. Management sits very cozy in private offices while regular employees are being crammed (one new building has hundreds in one room) with short cubicle walls. Employees are screaming in protest. Impossible to concentrate while people around you are talking loudly. Management refuses to admit a mistake and keeps repeating "This is a pleasant and productive work place". Management spends way too much time meeting with Wall Street investors. Too many HR personnel with not enough to do, so they make needless changes to paperwork and policies every year.
