Pros

Lubrizol is a stable chemical company based in Wickliffe, Ohio. I've worked here nearly 30 years and had many different roles ranging from purely technical to technical management to technical service and customer support. Lubrizol has many opportunities to grow and expand skills.

Cons

Lubrizol has become very bureaucratic over the last 10 - 15 years and consequently created some silos that hamper progress. In an effort to make employees accountable an environment has been created where different roles are somewhat adversarial rather than cooperative.

Pros

Great company and good people. Good benefits. Good quality culture.

Cons

As with many jobs, there are some more difficult jobs where it is hard to retain good people. As an example, there are several entry/medium level positions that are critical but do not pay well.

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
