Great business space but some of the worst leadership behvavior I've ever seen - just terrible

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

there a lot of talented people in all functions and many levels who are cooperative and great to work with as well as the space is very interesting to technical people in specialty chemical field. Product develpers will enjoy a diverse and great set of equally talented customers.

Cons

This company has some of the most arrogant and self adsorbed leadership I've ever seen. A few are out right verbal bullies to their peers, teams and others around them. While there are a few really sharp and talented leaders most are extremely weak and back fight with each other often and in public view of the employees. The are smart enough but so focused on themeselves that it negatively impacts team performance broadly. The facilities are old and tired and need serious upgrades especially waterford site. Safety performance is not outstanding by any measure though measure were being taken to improve. Not a leader in the market space with but a few exceptions. Often under re-organization. Maybe 4 times over 5 year span. Moral is generally poor but is site dependent. Not a healthy work environment.
