      Pros

      Arkema offers great opportunities including career changes when they see motivated talent. The company offers great work-life balance and emphasizes safety and sustainability initiatives in everyday actions.

      Cons

      Arkema can be a leader in some businesses and markets, but will also be content as a second innovator in more risky markets, projects, or opportunities.

      Pros

      -Overtime galore -Close knit family like atmosphere -Decent Benefits -Top Out is adequate

      Cons

      -Unqualified personnel leading operations and maintenance/i&e dept. -Rather promote a partially qualified individual and cause more work on downstream than hire someone truly qualified -Turnover has grown tremendously in last couple years -Starting pay too low across the board to find good new hires -Nearly impossible to fire, leads to subpar workers being there a life time and others expected to pick up the slack -Understaffed in production Overstaffed upward -Doesn’t spend enough to actually maintain each unit like it needs to be -No real training program

      Pros

      - The company offers numerous opportunities for growth. - The pay is satisfactory for the job role. - The company provides an online learning university to support professional development.

      Cons

      - It is important to note that the company operates under at-will employment, which means they can terminate your employment at any time. - The ThioChemicals business unit in Crosby, TX has several red flags that need to be addressed. - The account manager consistently appears overwhelmed with their workload. -The Business Development Manager can be a micromanager. -The Hr Leader for the business unit was very rude as well.
