Pros

Work Life Balance - even before COVID had some flexibility on work schedule, including two days a month to work from home Short Term Incentive (Cash Bonus) - have received one every year Responsive Leadership - upper management is accessible and does seem to address staff's concerns (the latter mainly through annual survey)

Cons

Very Cost Conscious - tight with money for projects, which can make structural improvements a multi-year effort; only mid to senior leaders do any significant travel to visit suppliers or stakeholders

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
