Pros

You have a JOB (just under broke is what that stands for) ............................................................ (Sorry about that, but glass door is FORCING me to write more characters in the positive section)

Cons

EVERYTHING! If they would've let me give it no star, I would have. They don't care about their employees! They care about the bottom line, & if that means sacrificing any and all of your personal home life, then so be it! Though change can usually be a good thing, this company constantly changes things to screw their employees over financially, all the time! I've noticed for sometime amazing reviews keep coming up with nothing bad to say! Yeah what company doesn't have negatives? Although this company has so many, I believe they've already caught wind of this place and decided to place somebody on the task of writing fake reviews! Don't believe the hype! Ask REAL former, AND current employees how they really feel. If they left, they're relieved, and if they're still there, everyday they're trying to get out! Their sporadic schedules don't allow them to schedule an interview!

Thanks for comment, I apologize if you had a bad experience while working for Westlake. We are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of the work environment for all employees. A lot of the changes we make are a direct result of input from out employees, including adding a new onsite gym, and additional monthly training sessions. The HR team is always available to listen to employee concerns.

Pros

-Starting pay is pretty good.* -There are some good people who work here**

Cons

-Accounting Management in general. -Incredibly rude, Occasionally to the point of abusiveness. -Sometimes they don't understand the projects they assign to you. -Dishonesty in general. Especially regarding performance based benefits/promotions or benefits they may offer you to stay with the company. -Blatant disregard for US Accounting standards (G.A.A.P.) when finance team or upper management doesn't like the financials they are looking at. -Not many paid holidays or PTO-think bare minimum. -Their health care options are far from the best. In fact they actually got worse since I started working there. -*While starting pay is good it is difficult to get a better salary or promotion unless you are talented at kissing up to management or if management believes you will quit without a promotion/raise. -**While you might meet some nice people working there the company has incredibly high turnover so you may not be working with them for too long.
