Pros

The coworkers in the Superabsorbent Polymers group were wonderful people. They were helpful, friendly, and sincere. Almost everyone I met from my peers to upper managers was someone I would happily spend time with outside of work as well as at work, which made it feel very familial. Safety was a huge priority.

Cons

The company loses track of the temps and seems to forget you might want a permanent job. There is not a clear designated pathway for temp-to-hire here. Also, the job is a dead-end for your career. It's perfect for anyone looking for job security and a nice place to work, but not good if you hope to move upward.
