Pros

Benefits coverage is amazing and the cost are low.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. They do provide a great work life balance with a flexible schedule but unfortunately we are so overworked that we could not enjoy the flexibility.

Pros

Good coworkers and job security are the only positives at this place. Pay is enough to get by, but the lowest of all competitors in the area. People leave here to go to competitors. Nobody comes to work for Lhoist from competitors in the area. That says alot. If you want a job with good job security and are willing to sacrifice work life balance, can work rotating shifts, and are willing to put up with some unnecessary internal politics, then it is ok I guess.

Cons

-Horrible Structural problems for non union salary workforce. -Pay makes no sense for salary personnel at the plant level. Job responsibilities, education requirements, and expectations do not match compensation. -HR department has too much power in hiring and internal placement and advancement, instead of plant and department leadership. Because of that, internal advancement and placement seems to be based more on politics than anything. People have and will get positions and promotions based on politics and diversity targets instead of who is the better fit for the role. -Company places too much value on degrees for non management salary positions. They will hire less experienced people with degrees and start them with higher pay, extra vacation etc, while not adequately rewarding proven, experienced, and dependable current performers without degrees. -People are treated and hired differently based on what is convenient for the company at the time. This means you will get vastly different compensation packages and requirements than coworkers, based on how desperate the company was at the time. This can be a slap in the face to current employees sometimes. -Higher than expected turnover because of all these negatives, which in turn causes alot of overtime due to covering shifts, and training new employees.
