Decent company with extreme vision

Pros

Good benefits. Salaries are on par with other basic chemical companies, (but lags with regards to petro-chem). Incredible amount of freedom, ownership, and empowerment. Very pro LGBT. Positive diversity in most places. Safety and environment are a priority. Managers are free to take care of their people (and do). Lots of opportunities. Company believes in multiple roles during career and would rather hire from within than outside. Overseas/expat roles are available.

Cons

New vision has cost many jobs. Outlook among employees is not very positive. Corporate HR is extremely untrustworthy; do not believe what is said orally, always get things in writing and then thoroughly explained...and then in writing again from another person (I cannot stress this enough. Been bad of late for a number of co-workers). New employees (especially engineers) are usually not mentored properly. Takes a dedicated hard driver to get past the first few years. Prepare to sacrifice outside the plant life doing so. Expat employees have been left to swing in the breeze. This fact alone has cost the company much respect in my eyes.
