      Pros

      Pension program was still available. Vacation accrual was very decent. We worked 8- 4:45 the days we didn't have to stay late.

      Cons

      Too much micromanaging by the plant manager. You never feel competent no matter how hard you try or how much you take on. The longer you work there the longer your days get.

      Pros

      Job security. The Charleston plant had a great year financially in 2010 due mostly to their asphalt products. The company has great benefits.

      Cons

      The Production Planner position in the Chemical division is one of the most difficult positions to have. You are on call 24/7/365. Balancing work and personal life is very difficult. The pay does not reflect the number of hours worked each week. Oftentimes, as a planner, you are seen as the enemy because you can't satisfy everyone's expectations. Too much responsibly is put on the planner's shoulders. You are setup to fail. All of this has been communicated to upper management. Though they acknowledge it and agree, they don't plan to correct the situation. This position has a huge impact on other departments (including getting the final product to the customer when promised).
