      Pros

      Good individuals that work there, pay

      Cons

      Things were very good at Basell before the Lyondell purchase. After that the culture changed and everyone became a number.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      9-8-O schedule and turnaround special comp for salaried employees. Lots of very smart people to work with and learn from. Pay and vacation has been improved in the last couple of years and is probably near best in class if you’re in the Gulf Coast chemical industry. As a whole, a very safe place to work. Housekeeping is great everywhere but the refinery.

      Cons

      All career roads lead to Houston. You might never see your manager as they have consolidated a few too many positions in middle management. Internal politics are a constant distraction. Ineffective performers at all levels are shuffled around rather than coached/let go. A few slime balls in high places are comfortable turning a blind eye to safety/environmental issues if it’s convenient for them to do so. If you need to spend more than $15,000 on anything it will take at least 18 months.
