Pros

You get paid to work here. You get an annual bonus, up to 4% of your annual (usually got 3%). 2 weeks vacation after 6 months. Benefits start immediately (HSA, high deductible, company contributes ~1300 annually via one big pay out followed by x small payouts).

Cons

No upward mobility. Hazardous work environment. No supervision of staff, policies, or workmanship. Unorganized. Unprofessional. Poor morale and apathetic staff.

Pros

Working at Innospec gave me the best experience of my career. They run lean, which means if you have drive and are intelligent they give you the work to do. If you are lazy and need your hand held you will not fit in here. You can join projects and run with them. Access to executive management was common. They promoted me 3 times in 4.5 years. I had major bonus potential and usually hit it and I was a corporate employee, no where near a sales department. My manager was one of the most respected in the company so I am sure that played a part in my experience. We had open dialogue and a great working relationship. The benefits for my entire family (spouse, children) were totally covered. I could work from home when needed. I got to travel for work and my spouse was able to join me from time to time (of course we paid for his ticket). They are very understanding about family emergencies. I was very connected with my team both in the US and around the globe.

Cons

Denver lacked an HR Department until recently so there was not an easy way to discuss an issue with someone other than your manager. There was some turnover with several long term employees leaving and they couldn't find a younger person that was able to handle the entire job, so it would wind up being broken in to 2 positions which decreases awareness and productivity.

Pros

Company paid benefits for entire family (except dental employee only), not great coverage but premiums paid, 10 paid holidays, pension & 401k match (vested after 3 years) & quarterly bonus.

Cons

12 days PTO/15 Max after 3 years, no roll over which is awful, have to dress up most of the week, location, horrible communication, you will get ignored most of the time if you bring up an issue. Many of the higher ups won't acknowledge you. Expect you to be available all the time & you do 3 people's work for 1 person.
