Pros

Ambitious, growth-focused company with ‘can-do’ attitude; attracting and developing bright young talent; strong emphasis on safety and well-being

Cons

Operating world-scale chemical assets in the Southern US - susceptible to disruption from weather-related events despite a robust reliability program. It is no different than other companies in its peer-group.
