Postive, yet frustrating

Pros

If you are driven individual with a level head, then Roquette can offer a world of opportunities. The company as a whole (on a global level) is never content with sitting idle... because of this, opportuniites and career growth can be had, as well as international travel. A change in upper management and the board are prompting the company to make serious positive changes in the recent months. Gurnee plant and Geneva office have great locations being in the Chicagoland area with access to all that Chicago and the surrounding area have to offer.

Cons

Being a French-based company, decisions are not always made as fast as you might like and can be a source of frustration. If you can understand the cultural differences, then you could be a good fit. Keokuk plant and office locations are located in a town that has a dwindling population, and is about 1 hour from decent shopping and dining. Because of this, bringing external talent in is difficult.

Pros

Company is investing money into an old plant site.

Cons

Management does not trust employees. Technical decisions mostly controlled by French. Attempts to perform root-cause problems usually turn into witch hunts and finger pointing. Workers are expected to work with dangerous equipment and in dangerous environments Management does not recognize personal efforts by employees who put forth extra effort to achieve company goals. Management is rude to employees who attempt to bring task details/problems etc. to their attention. Vocationally skilled salaried employees are not compensated for extra effort.
