Pros

Great peers to surround yourself with.

Cons

Don't believe them if they say you will be based in Akron if you are hired at the location that used to be A. Schulman. They were acquired by LyondellBasell, a Houston chemical company. You will be moved to Houston or separated from the company in Q3 2019. I started very recently and shortly after I started they told me I would be moved to Houston if I wanted to stay. This was directly after they told me in my interview that I would be based in Akron. Stay far away unless you are interested in moving.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
