Pros

Good money, good benefits! Hardest working workers I have ever seen (due to the fear of losing their jobs)

Cons

Work you like a slave because you are salaried! You never get caught up on your work. If you are African American I would pick any other company to work for. Unless you get in Houston on the 4th floor you are doomed for failure. The company is very political, managers have favorites, and if you aren't an Aggie (Texas A & M graduate) beware! The Aggies pull for each other, it's like a cult! They help each other move up the ladder!!!! Sorry to say, if their aren't any more African-Americans to harass, if you are a minority you are the next in line. Laugh it you must, but this is serious business! Let's not forget, the company in India is doing most of the transactional work, so your job may not last long.

Rather lacking

Pros

Provides a steady paycheck and insurance. A few a managers are exceptional.

Cons

Lyondell has the false perception they bought Basell and Basell wasn't smart enough nor strong enough to argue the arguments. If you are one of the chosen ones you advance rapidly, if not you stagnate. Preach safety, however safety and some of the managers are the first ones to insist on performing an unsafe act. No pension plan, median benefits, pays lower than average.
