Pros
Lubrizol cares about its people, almost to a fault Pandemic measures have kept everyone safe The pension was generous while it lasted Proactively trying to expand into new markets to diversify given electrification will change additive markets Advanced materials business is growing
Cons
Additives business has consistently underperformed for many years, negatively impacting variable pay HR policies are corporate focused and counterproductive to manufacturing Manufacturing roles (non operator) are generally undervalued relative to other roles. HR uses every opportunity to underpay while we have an abundance of HR directors. Safety reputation is blemished and leadership is hastily recalibrating the workforce at the expense of work life balance and practicality.
