Pros

It's a job...really twenty words needed? Let's see...shaded parking, outdoor shaded lunch area....sometimes they BBQ for lunch

Cons

Local management and sales person ( both on salary) could care less about not meeting the numbers and closing the plant one to three days a week... they're not losing money...forcing everyone else to use PTO so they get a paycheck....raises deferred for two years straight now while the company brags about how much profit they made for the shareholders... management closing the plant for 2 weeks at Christmas for his "vacation" and screwing all employees cause they have all been forced to use their PTO up to cover frequent plant shutdowns. Happy Holidays with no paycheck. They keep employees long pass their usefulness in the name of the " good ole boys" club. Management lies to corporate about accident numbers and let's employees know they will be fired if claim made etc etc...the list goes on...Spartech cared for their employees, PolyOne not so much.

Pros

For the most part, I did not have to bring work home with me. Compensation was good. Benefits are on par with other corporations in the area, although they have been slowly eroding them.

Cons

Company still very siloed between the various business units. Middle and upper management do not work well with each other, and their strategy is not as clear as it could be. A lot of formerly in-house services have been outsourced, which has slowed down what were routine processes. Micromanagement seems to be on the rise.
