      Pros

      There are not much good reasons to work at Morton Salt as the favoritism is so real and pay goes with that as well.

      Cons

      Horrible disconnect in miscommunication. Company with favoritism all the way around. They do not value employees.

      Too much change and too much complacency

      Pros

      Work life balance is great. The company is putting a lot of effort into organizational behavior change. The change is slow and I think it will be very positive in the long run. The best benefit of working at Morton Salt is the resume equity from the role and the brand.

      Cons

      I have seen many people get promoted from within. However I do see many hired from the outside and often people getting promotions do not deserve them and people who should be promoted are not. There is a huge amount of complacency and therefore it impedes your ability to get things done that you feel is the right thing to do. Too many layers of bureaucracy also causes problems.

      A Great Place To Work, And Getting Better

      Pros

      Management is committed to transforming Morton from a commodity company into a innovator that puts its employees' well-being and company culture at the forefront. The commitment to health and safety is second to none, top to bottom. Christian Herrmann is amazingly accessible and inclusive as a CEO, and is strongly committed to Morton's core values. Many, many employees have been at Morton 20+ years, and show a lot of pride at being part of a strong brand that knows it must protect and live up to its reputation every day. Focusing on innovation and value-added products will stabilize the company against the commodity markets that are a huge chunk of its historical bread and butter. Benefits improve all the time, and a new performance management system will motivate and reward employees for their hard work. Morton also loves to give "swag" to its employees, and I see the salt girl everywhere I look at home and at the office.

      Cons

      There are bumps in the road with the transition. There is still an "old boys" network of long-tenure employees, and politics and favoritism are factors, as at almost any large company. There is a lot of volatility in the bulk deicing market, and in the parent company's potash market, so green winters and low commodity prices make a dent in earnings that can be worrying.
