Executive Destruction!

Pros

Very little left that is considered a pro. Most of the actual talent has left or is looking to leave. Pay is close to competitive. Benefits falling below the competition and home life balance - JOKE!

Cons

Lack of respect for anyone who came from one of the legacy companies. Forced ranking for bonus, which leves little room for anyone to care about really working hard as it does not really pay off. Its still the good old boy network. The executives need to get their hands out of the cookie jar and somebody needs to watch the shop.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are okay (not great)

Cons

They should start the university of micro managing. Moral took a major blow in the past 12 months after making progress from an all time low. A lot of employees are looking for other opportunities. Benefits and pay are good, but not as good as other companies. The team atmosphere has diminished.

Pros

Pretty good place to work and we actually work hard and make stuff. If that is how you choose to earn your living. If not then please go somewhere else to obtain your bread. A lot of good people who work hard every day. Sometimes you can get lost in the shuffle but believe me each of us counts. Because we don`t carry extra staffing. We work hard to be good environmental neighbors and keep each of us and our contract friends safe. A lot of smart, hardworking people and good benefits make LyondellBasell (at least in North America) a good manufacturing company to work for.

Cons

Middle management gets pretty goofy sometimes but I think this is pretty much true of any manufacturer so don`t blame us for the worlds problems. Don`t know about upper tier but 'the apple doesn`t fall far from the tree' right?
