Be careful of the fake reviews

Pros

If you work really hard you may be recognized however this can change really quickly.

Cons

Very high benefits costs, high turnover, president brags about how much the company is making but is always trying to pay the employees the lowest. Be careful when reading these reviews. The President and HR team has asked employees to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor instead of fixing the issues with the employees.

Westlake is constantly striving to make things better for all employees, we appreciate the feedback. Our President provides a monthly message to all employees that not only talks about our success, but will highlight those employees that have helped to our success. We have an open door policy that allows any employee to come directly to the president for issues and concerns, and most of our changes began as an idea from an employee.

Pros

You have a JOB (just under broke is what that stands for) ............................................................ (Sorry about that, but glass door is FORCING me to write more characters in the positive section)

Cons

EVERYTHING! If they would've let me give it no star, I would have. They don't care about their employees! They care about the bottom line, & if that means sacrificing any and all of your personal home life, then so be it! Though change can usually be a good thing, this company constantly changes things to screw their employees over financially, all the time! I've noticed for sometime amazing reviews keep coming up with nothing bad to say! Yeah what company doesn't have negatives? Although this company has so many, I believe they've already caught wind of this place and decided to place somebody on the task of writing fake reviews! Don't believe the hype! Ask REAL former, AND current employees how they really feel. If they left, they're relieved, and if they're still there, everyday they're trying to get out! Their sporadic schedules don't allow them to schedule an interview!

Thanks for comment, I apologize if you had a bad experience while working for Westlake. We are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of the work environment for all employees. A lot of the changes we make are a direct result of input from out employees, including adding a new onsite gym, and additional monthly training sessions. The HR team is always available to listen to employee concerns.

Pros

Room for growth(or so I've been told), pay is adequate (not amazing), great location, lavish holiday parties, optional additional training sessions, yoga after work (at least they used to have it), healthy initiatives (like fruit)

Cons

No morals, President (married) is trying to have sex with everyone, most of senior management is doing cocaine, no one cares about the customer, senior management (most are also married) are also trying to have sex with everyone, breaks (mandated by the state) are frowned upon, getting up for water is frowned upon unless you are glued to your telephone headset, no overtime allowed, they literally count the minutes you are early or late and bring it up to you, sexism is rampant, HR knows about everything but doesn't try to make anything better, if you are an analyst or dealer account manager, get ready to not see your family very often. I could go on for days. Be vary wary if you may want to work here. This is a revolving-door establishment (meaning they go through a lot of people and most don't last very long).
