Pros

The interactions that I had with corporate management were very positive. Many opportunities for promotion if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Very little HR support at a local level. Lean plant staffing with high turnover. I left the company for a 50% raise in a well-staffed plant. Operators at a plant down the street are making more than I was making as a mid-level manager at Arkema. I recommend Arkema as a company, but not the specific plant where I worked.
