      Pros

      We do get a 6% 401k match and a 5% pension. Decent money per hour

      Cons

      Supervisors are scared of management. managers are scared of higher management. This all rolls down hill on the hourly. Channelview plant manager leads by fear instead of real leadership. They are always telling us to be industry leaders but they keep us at 60% of Industry pay. Not much in career opportunities outside of what I do already.

      Still a good place to work

      Pros

      I work in engineering at a plant site and have been at the same site many years. We have a flexible work schedule around core hours and the option of working 9/80's with every other Friday off. Our bonus program is based on personal performance and company performance and the last few years have been good. I believe our local management really cares about the employees and safety is hammered into your head daily.

      Cons

      There's been a lot of employee turnover in the past couple of years - both engineers, operators and technicians. With a recovering economy, that's not surprising. There is a level of unrest and dissatisfaction that is higher than I would choose, but my experience has been good. I think a lot of the dissatisfaction is from hourly personnel (I am salaried) and the local site management is trying to address that. Upper management is another story, but plenty of reviews have focused on that so I'm not going to beat a dead horse.

      Allow managers to be managers

      Pros

      Great people, decent pay and benifits.

      Cons

      Upper management tends to have a fear based management style. Local managers are afraid or won't make their minds up for fear of losing jobs.
