LANXESS reviews

This company is mismanaged in many ways. Shift supervisors don't fully know the processes and equipment. The plant manager and assistant manager don't value good and dedicated workers. Favoritism exists among both salaried and hourly employees. The company has changed ownership twice in 20 years. I was laid off twice and furloughed once in 20 years.

Employees are overworked to dangerous points, they are hiring people to work with very dangerous chemicals with no experience, training program is none existing, the supervisors show blatant favoritism in a union plant, aging workforce (they will lose half the plant in the next 5 years), the health insurance is horrible, supervisors constantly drop the ball and employees have to pick up the pieces which usually mean overtime, the plant is over 100 years old and it shows and safety is a joke here.
