Pros

Management seems to care about their employees for the most part. Management keeps employees informed about decisions being made. People are friendly and very willing to help.

Cons

Prides itself on being one of the largest producers of Chlorine but at the lowest rates. This means they cannot pay their employees as much as other companies which means it is hard to retain people. Money is taken from the chemical plants and put into the coatings plants. There is not enough money spent on upkeeping the facilities.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
