Pros

Pretty good pay. Very good low level workers that tell the truth.

Cons

When you retire they could care less. They just move on. They tout GOD but fail when it comes to employee care. They care about Africa but could give a damn about me.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people (not management) were good and the plants were very innovative.

Cons

Because they do not have trust in their people or their lawyers and patents, they make you sign a non compete. However they will also lay you off abruptly. The non compete makes it extremely difficult to find another job in our rural area where most other industrial plants are also ethanol. Management has also changed significantly and POET is less about it's people. Which was the benefit against the lower pay.

Supposed to hire from within first but they over look qualified persons

Pros

Ok pay but that depends on where you live. Not all poets plants are created equally. Easy to get over time and to learn new jobs.

Cons

Stagnant culture. You are only as good as your higher ups. A lot of butt kissing that leads to no where. Advancement IF you are friends with the person doing the hiring.
