Pros

Most of the people at Sun Chemical are fantastic. It is amazaing what people get done without support from management.

Cons

Upper management is completely dis-engaged from the employees. There is no sense of common goals. Most decisions appear to be reactionary, not proactive

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some very nice, hard-working, unappreciated employees at Sun Chemical.

Cons

The management team doesn't know what they are doing or how to fix the problems. They have also put regulatory compliance at the lowest possible level of priority.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and relatively good compensation

Cons

The upper management is not aware of what is going on at the manufacturing sites. They need to reaccess the middle management that is in place and make them more accountable to find out who the key employees are at each location and what they do.
