Pros

Good pay with great benefits. Good safety and environmental team. Good FGM at this site. Good stock purchase options with good medical care.

Cons

Lazy people. Hourly union employees don’t want to work. The employees aren’t motivated to do anything “extra”. Reduces workforce doesn’t help these issues.

Pros

Some good people and good location around Boston area.

Cons

Cabot did not feel like an employee-focused company during my time there. I observed multiple layoffs, including employees who had been hired only a few months earlier. The work environment was often very stressful, with heavy workloads and frequent organizational changes. Communication across different management layers was sometimes inconsistent, leading to mixed messages and unclear priorities. Before accepting a position, I would encourage candidates to carefully evaluate the role, team, and long-term stability of the organization. Significant changes can occur quickly, and it's important to understand the potential impact on work-life balance and career plans.
