      Lots of potential, but... - Chemist Synthomer Employee Review

      Pros

      Colleagues are generally really friendly and helpful. Good team culture. Strong Heath and Safety commitment. Company doing well financially and expanding quickly. Subsidised canteen. Company is in a high momentum stage with acquisitions.

      Cons

      Management across R&D sections is, generally, appalling, with shockingly poor communication skills and lack of interest. Talented R&D staff are not used to their full potential and are left to manage themselves. Petty politics that prioritise irrelevant work. Poor performance is not challenged and dealt with, particularly at the management level. No recognition when you do a good job. Pay is shockingly arbitrary, unfair and very low in certain cases. Progression is unclear and very slow.

      Pros

      the pay is above average, friendly environment, good vacation starting and benefits beginning day of hire.

      Cons

      Mediocre healthcare. the work/life balance is terrible for shift-workers and the company does not hesitate to change your schedule to meet their needs with no consideration to your personal life or obligations. Very poor and rushed training managed by under qualified training department. safety is only a priority as long as it doesn't interfere with production needs.
