      Pros

      Great team working through different arcane systems although there is no set process and highly inaccurate master data. The workforce (both union and non-union) puts in 100% although they are never appreciated or motivated.

      Cons

      Upper and middle management are old boys out of Nalco/Dow and only look out for themselves. Hardly any salary increases or opportunities to grow within the company. A 8% 401K match is given to select employees but not to all. Similarly, bonuses are unevenly distributed at the top with the leftovers given to the many. Supply Chain SIOP along with Inventory optimization initiatives are a farce!! HR department is not developed. Downer's Grove location is a mirage created to fool clients and increase sales..

      Pros

      Excellent benefits Competitive salary Bonus that is actually paid out Company is attempting to change, becoming more process-oriented with modern systems

      Cons

      Company culture has become fairly toxic. Most people are unhappy, and those who are laid off seem to be relieved. BIS (IT) management in particular is very shortsighted, and don't seem to be operating in reality (i.e. don't acknowledge how long it takes and how many resources to deliver major projects). Functional leadership is very political, and the average employee can got caught in the crosshairs. Stay far far away from this company for now, maybe the new CEO will make some positive changes.
