Pros

Lots of great people to work with.

Cons

No career growth. All opportunities are being filled by outside hires who have no experience in the additives chemical industry. Legacy employees aren’t really valued which is why you are seeing an exodus of top talent leaving which is impacting the organization when executives who lack industry experience have no subject matters experts to fill in their knowledge gaps. Corporation has had 4 ceos (one interim) in past 3 years. Hiring freezes have put a larger work load on existing employees. New executives are concerned about “productivity” which just a veiled way of saying that they need to cut head count which they have been doing with attrition. This organization had its flaws but it just needed a tuneup not a whole car rebuild.

Pros

- Lots of job opportunities because so many have left! - Pay and benefits are generally competitive with the market - Lots of location options within manufacturing

Cons

- Upper Management / LELT is completely out of touch with the plants - The HR organization is a dumpster fire; so much has been outsourced that HR struggles to perform basic tasks for employees - There are so many silo'd corporate organizations now and none of them work together or effectively coordinate with the plants
