Pros
High minded goals from CEO - transform from commodity products to specialty solutions Good training opportunities (Six Sigma) Fantastic pay and bonuses
Cons
Dull product line and tough to move away from nickel & dime commodity polymers Management approach to people is toxic - very old school and manipulative. They preach collaboration and innovation, but it is every man for himself. Workforce is a weird mix of beat down old timers, MBA wonderkids, and obnoxious arrogant castoffs from other big polymer companys. Executive management lacks any real vision or ability to motivate. They could accomplish so much if they really figured out how to work collaboratively. They pay ridiculous bonuses every spring and you see a lot of good people who cash in and leave after a few years because it is just too demoralizing to work in that environment.
