Pros

Good benefits, clean corporate work atmosphere.

Cons

BAD work/life balance, poor/weak office culture & managers, employees NOT encouraged to think outside the box, some employees very overworked, while others pass the buck to avoid work. Managers are blind to this. Managers hold employees back, and do not promote, keeping their own cost centers down, thereby garnering larger bonuses for themselves. Many employees not replaced, once they leave, creating much more work for those who stay. Most employees I know are looking for opportunities to leave the company.

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
