Pros

Healthcare benefits and 401k match

Cons

New owners are poor at managing company. They automatically assume legacy Morton employees are dumb and no input comes from them. There is no communication. Their attitude towards safety is a 180. They fired so many people and the workload is killing the people left. They actually come to Chicago office to visit and go to conference rooms and visit with only each other and avoid the employees. Missing Christian Hermann and Mark Roberts.

Pros

Good pay. Fair PTO. Get to work from home 2 days a week.

Cons

Little to no training or onboarding. Minimal efforts for NEW employee development. "Figure it out yourself" and "sink or swim" attitude from management Not a team environment Over assigns tasks and responsibilities. Unrealistic expectations for a position that is VERY overwhelming, complicated and stressful. Extremely heavy workload. Managment gossips about personal work situations and is very "click-y". Speaking up puts a target on your back. I was told that I needed to improve and accomplish more of my daily tasks, even when I clearly and repeatedly explained that I needed more training and was overwhelmed. Management showed NO understanding or sympathy to my situation, NOR did they offer more training, suggestions, support, or direction. I was only told to get better, faster, be more efficient. Management had weekly meetings with me where I was criticized, made to feel inferior to other new employees, belittled and ashamed that I was not catching on as quickly as they wanted me to EVEN THOUGH I NEVER RECIEVED PROPER TRAINING! During these meetings I was NEVER told anything positive or encouraging- even when I gave examples of improvement, it was never enough. Over-all this was a disappointing, frustrating and sad experience. Whom ever is reading this please know my main objective is share how unfairly I (and others) were/are treated and how upper management inefficiency runs the Customer Service Supply Chain department. This is in hopes that it doesn't happen to anyone else and improves my past co-workers working environment. Everything I am saying is 100% true and factual.

Good/fair amount of vacation time.

Since Morton Salt was sold the culture has changed drastically. Do not feel valued. More work, same title.
