Pros

Plants are located outside of standard chemical production localities. Work schedule is less taxing than some chemical companies. Benefits were good.

Cons

Plants are located in small towns. Resistant to change and new ideas - not invented here syndrome. Becoming more of a standard chemical/petrochemical company but with less MBA's.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
