Pros

The pay is excellent although you have to work long hours for it. If you are under 40 its a great place to start your career but don't stay over 5 years. Company is solid financially.

Cons

Older employees are not valued. Younger employees are brought in and senior operators are demoted back to entry level jobs to make room for them. Standards are very different from site to site and even from unit to unit within the same site. Creates an atmosphere of unequal treatment of employees. Excessive favoritism leading to unqualified people in leadership positions at 1st line level.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
