Pros

Lyondell is a good place to work if you are willing to work hard. Everyone here has plenty to do and we are well compensated for it. The company has as its high priority to keep us safe. Benefits are outstanding and if you know how to manage your time, you have a pretty consistent schedule.

Cons

Too many meetings, too many people bragging about their workflow on the hallways – shut up and go back to work; therefore, not much is being properly done.

Once a great place to work

Pros

Many good people remain in the middle management ranks (but they are slowly leaving) Salary and benefits are fair, but shrinking.

Cons

Command and control management style. Employee turnover is increasing. Many departments are understaffed. CYA has become more important than doing what is right for the long term future of the company.

Executive Destruction!

Pros

Very little left that is considered a pro. Most of the actual talent has left or is looking to leave. Pay is close to competitive. Benefits falling below the competition and home life balance - JOKE!

Cons

Lack of respect for anyone who came from one of the legacy companies. Forced ranking for bonus, which leves little room for anyone to care about really working hard as it does not really pay off. Its still the good old boy network. The executives need to get their hands out of the cookie jar and somebody needs to watch the shop.
