Pros

Good 401k that you probably will not live long enough to enjoy.

Cons

You will breath toxic vapors, dust, and gases. Very dangerous unsafe place to work. Long term employees have various job related health problems. You receive safety training but the management makes you violate the safety policy daily. When an accident happens, management will blame it on you and fire you. They stopped replacing workers that retired and left until the ended up with a skeleton crew. Then they overwhelmed the remaining workers with the same work load.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
