Used to be a great place to work

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits, 401k PT and vacation time

Cons

Goals are set so high, but they’re not even attainable and then you’re blamed for the fact that you never accomplish them. They say pay is competitive, but it’s actually not. Decisions are made without involving thoughts and opinions of everyone invested in that decision. Very hard to get work done when you have to contact several different people all over the world in different time zones and nobody is making it a priority.

Poor company - inconsistent treatment of employees - average pay and benefits

Development chemist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
