Pros

Good benefits and good working hours. The company as a whole is good.

Cons

Lubrizol brings in children bosses fresh out of college and they do not have any supervisory or managerial skills. If you do not have a college degree, you will not advance in this company with today's current management concepts. The HR department is basically does not exist and if there is a problem, you have no person to turn for help. They do not take advice from older employees and instead of taking their advice, they label them as a "trouble maker" and eliminate their position and tell them to hit the road. In hind sight, it's the best thing that ever happened to me and my life is so much better not having to work for that company anymore. If you are looking for a place of employment to retire from, do not work for this company, they will release you as you near retirement.

Pros

Lubrizol promotes both good business practices and a work life balance. There are infinite career opportunities that span not only the industries that Lubrizol serves but also globally in the many countries they are present in. Management is supportive of growth not only with on the job training but also formal classes and programs offered both internally and externally. There are many ways in which the company is utilizing new technology to promote effeciency as well as effectiveness. Lubrizol is a community that promotes camaraderie during work hours and on personal time with the many Business Resource Groups they have formed. One of my fondest memories is participating in the Cystic fibrosis challenge in which Lubrizol always sponsored a team for charity. I love working for this company, the pros are endless. From our CEO to contributers, employees care about our work and building a sense of pride in our products and services.

Cons

There are honestly not a lot of cons working for Lubrizol. Probably the number one issue is the headquarters are located in North East Ohio and the winters are brutal! Lubrizol is a large company so many times decisions and changes might take a little longer to come to fruition.
