      APPLICANT BEWARE

      Pros

      There are still some very good employees working for the company. Hopefully Specialty Chemicals will be sold off, and these employees will be retained under new top management.

      Cons

      Top management does not care about their employees. Does not matter if you are a long time employee, you are expendable to them. Company is going through major reorganization. They waste money on bringing consultants in to call the shots. They pay outsiders to say that former management was all incompetent, so they could move them out, and hand pick who they wanted. If jobs are not being filled internally, there is a reason for that! APPLICANT BEWARE!

      Cannot Recommend To Anyone

      Pros

      -Job experience working at a large company -Experience working with a diverse workforce -Benefits (although these have been reduced in the past year)

      Cons

      -Culture is unfriendly and not happy -One or two social events a year, everything is work, work, work -Employees are a resource and are very expendable; layoffs are common as the company is in a perpetual state of reconstruction -Work takes forever to get done due to so many "controls" in place; unnecessarily cumbersome processes -Few young people work in the company and this is a major issue as they have a hard time attracting and retaining young talent (probably somewhat related to negative culture) -Limited growth potential as there are few positions available and any positions that get filled usually end up with those employees stay in those positions until retirement -Pay is "competitive" meaning they'll pay you the market rate and nothing more. Getting a raise is also difficult as there are many steps in the process and asking your manager is just the first of many people who need to approve the raise.
