Pros

Friendly workforce Work Life Balance Compensation

Cons

Leadership over the past 3 years has gotten worse. Plant director to managers. Doing more with less isn’t great and constantly cutting budgets but wonder why the plant is deteriorating and looks like a third world country isn’t ideal. Using band aids to fix problems or a skeleton crew for maintenance to cut costs also increases down time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Focus on new technology development for future plastics recycling and sustainability efforts, with strong investment in people and assets and patience to see those goals through (for now). Diverse workforce with many high performing contributors. Strong emphasis on expertise, creating easily identified knowledge centers and promoting career growth by depth, not breadth.

Cons

Slow career progression with low transparency. Sprawling organization that's difficult to reach and impact, and easy to get lost within. Difficult to move laterally, taking enormous effort from the employee with little support from management. Significant "churn" in support processes like safety and administrative tasks - often employee driven where teams are encouraged to make changes, often just reversing previous decisions with no clear progress over time.
