      Good company to work for overall but can't compete with the salaries of other chem companies or oil companies.

      Pros

      Management seems to care about their employees for the most part. Management keeps employees informed about decisions being made. People are friendly and very willing to help.

      Cons

      Prides itself on being one of the largest producers of Chlorine but at the lowest rates. This means they cannot pay their employees as much as other companies which means it is hard to retain people. Money is taken from the chemical plants and put into the coatings plants. There is not enough money spent on upkeeping the facilities.

      Pros

      Good enough corporate policies. Possibility of growing within the company.

      Cons

      Arbitrarily enforced policies. Shockingly lax discipline. Not family friendly. I am reserving judgement in other matters until I have been there long enough to seej

      Store manager

      Pros

      Experience and travel. Most store managers are good people, it's hard to watch them be worked so hard though. It's easy to track how well your store is doing. Communication within the company is pretty good, except they make it seem as though they care when, by their actions, it's clear they do not.

      Cons

      Pay is bad, micro-management to the extreme, must travel or take jobs you don't want to stay employed, harassment in a male dominated field, absolutely no help when hurt on the job - workers compensation supplies the worst care and for only a few months even if your injury is long lasting. My list could go on, having this job was the biggest waste of my time. Wish I never took the job.
