Pros

the chemical company evolved from filing for bankruptcy protection in 2009 to being a profitable, expanding operation. Focused on expanding existing facilities rather than building new plants. It is also upgrading facilities in Texas and Europe.

Cons

Company has outsourced much of IT and reduced R&D beyonf reasonable levels. What employees remain are relied to cover more than their share of a departments needs, overlooking the need to re-train or replace struggling personal. Due to the nature of the company structure, with employees spread out across the globe there are some major break downs in communications. Systems and infrastructure are way behind similar companies. Favoritism is shown toward certain employees regardless of merit.

Pros

Employees are content with ok salary and benefits.

Cons

Elite management. In IT, management suffers. Feedback is from up-down; never feedback from down-up.
