Pros

There are no pro's to mention. It will take you 2 years to reach full scale in pay. Insurance that you pay for is horrible. It will take you 2 years to be fully vested into 401k that you start paying into within 30 days of employment.

Cons

Company owns the union. Sad excuse to have to pay dues to. Same jobs are constantly advertised for. Employees are constantly threatened with layoff's

Pros

Olin is now the largest Chlor Alkali producer in the world, but it seems they are retaining their family-oriented style. Olin truly lives up to their core values: integrity, people, helping customers succeed, and continuous improvement.

Cons

Communication from upper management to the plants has been lacking for major announcements that have impacted everyday operation of the facilities.
