      A completely broken, and outdated management philosophy creating the most toxic environment I have ever worked in.

      Pros

      There are some really good people, and their market is very hot right now which results in a fast-paced working environment, and incredible opportunity for the company to make major profits.

      Cons

      The overall management philosophy is broken, inconsistent, and outdated. There is a lot of internal competition between business units which could be cultivated positively, but is instead used to pit people against each other resulting in an incredible amount of backstabbing and negativity. People that work here (including managers that need to hire people) are very reluctant to refer people they know and like due to how bad this place is to work.

      Financially Sound, But Managed Through Fear

      Pros

      The company is in a very good position to continue strong profit growth in the US due to differential low feed stock prices compared to the rest of the world. Some plant level leadership support interpersonal skills growth and work life balance.

      Cons

      Senior leadership appears to believe that high performance cannot be achieved without creating fear at all levels of the organization. Creativity and appropriate financial risk taking are severely stifled as a result. High quality staff are also leaving and the company is struggling to hire replacements as it is perceived as a poor place to work by professionals outside the organization

      Pros

      Good business sense. But it won't run when you people leave

      Cons

      Poor excuse of a CEO. Poor management. Pay and benefits not up to participate with similar companies.
