Pros

Most people are friendly. Lots of opportunities to learn new things. 401k is pretty standard for the industry.

Cons

Benefits are poor and they keep cutting. Below national average for sick leave per US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most restrictive vacation policy I've heard of in the chemical industry. They only do 9/80s half the year. No PPO option. Management thrives on drama and gossips too much.
