Pros

Employees Compensation The people that have remained are hard working and great employees. There is still a team environment, but quickly being eroded. Great place for a manager, if you are a yes person and like having lots of money thrown at you.

Cons

Senior Management This company is all about making a profit and the employees are a necessary evil that have to be endured until Senior Management, Jim can figure out a way to outsource all of the employees. The worker bees are leaving in droves, but that's ok, because Jim never thought much of us anyway. It's become bureaucratic and depressing. Just look at the hundreds of open positions that they have listed and difficulty hiring people.

Pros

pay scale, job schedule, benefits

Cons

company does not communicate with employees, if employee is injured, company does not stand behind employee, any employee on LTD is considered out of the system and no help in sight. Current management is totally out of the loop where its employees are concerned, only concern is the all mighty dollar.

Pros

The pay is good. Lyondell is a great name to have on a Resume. EHS commitment

Cons

Autocratic leadership. Gallogly likes to play the heavy and is always right, just ask him. Better yet, tell him that there may be other issues may need to be considered. If you are a workaholic it is a great place to be. If you want to be respected and have any kind of work / life balance this is not the place. The philosophy is to grind you up and spit you out. I never realized how bad it is at LyondellBasell until I went somewhere else.
