Awful Company- can care less about employees

Chemical process operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You can get benefits and decent pay, but that is only if you are willing to work a swing rotating shift (1st, 2nd, 3rd) that changes every 5-7 days that absolutely kills your body and family life. But f you are single, have at it.

Cons

The company can care less about you, your family, your health (most get some form of cancer before or right after they retire), your safety and like to take from your earned benefits year after year. You will work with hazardous chemicals day in and day out and the company doesn't care, when you simply ask for a vent for formaldehyde vapors they say it will cost too much or ignore you (just one of many examples).

Depressing and Neglected in Technology RUN AWAY

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good. The people are terrific. Work life balance is great.

Cons

They won't even show candidates the facilities for fear they will not accept a job if they see where they will be working.The facility is falling apart around us. It is not uncommon for there to be no environmental controls, water pouring out of ceilings, wires hanging, dirt and filth everywhere. Hoods don't work, it's almost impossible to do our jobs because the working conditions are deplorable. It's impossible to accomplish anything due to bureaucracy. Everyone walks around here depressed and disgusted. Sad state of affairs.
