Pros

Good benefits and good working hours. The company as a whole is good.

Cons

Lubrizol brings in children bosses fresh out of college and they do not have any supervisory or managerial skills. If you do not have a college degree, you will not advance in this company with today's current management concepts. The HR department is basically does not exist and if there is a problem, you have no person to turn for help. They do not take advice from older employees and instead of taking their advice, they label them as a "trouble maker" and eliminate their position and tell them to hit the road. In hind sight, it's the best thing that ever happened to me and my life is so much better not having to work for that company anymore. If you are looking for a place of employment to retire from, do not work for this company, they will release you as you near retirement.

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
