      Great Potential - Poor Leadership

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary and many good people Good assets Expansion opportunities, growth potential with good locations This company has great potential but the arcane, arrogant leadership team will destroy the company.

      Cons

      Poor Leadership Don't value people Don't want input from anyone They are driving out all the good experienced people because they don't want anyone to point out issues.

      Financially Sound, But Managed Through Fear

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is in a very good position to continue strong profit growth in the US due to differential low feed stock prices compared to the rest of the world. Some plant level leadership support interpersonal skills growth and work life balance.

      Cons

      Senior leadership appears to believe that high performance cannot be achieved without creating fear at all levels of the organization. Creativity and appropriate financial risk taking are severely stifled as a result. High quality staff are also leaving and the company is struggling to hire replacements as it is perceived as a poor place to work by professionals outside the organization

      Benefits not equal to industry standard

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Current safety culture is good but losing steam. I'm afraid we are headed for another catastrophic accident.

      Cons

      Very high turnover among management and hourly employees. Benefits package not competitive with companies equal to ours.
