Pros

Some of the people there. Able to learn about petrochemical business/operations.

Cons

Lack of psychological safety exists depending on department/leader. Lots of fake people - environment is for those good at pretending.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Competitive Salary. Career Opportunities are there after you work in your role for 2-5 years, depending on your work ethic. Good benefits (including employee stock options), good leaders who care about safety of the employees. Nice people to work with, there is a good team spirit. Good food at the cafeteria and all the local places around the plant.

Cons

There is not a training program for new engineers across multiple disciplines. You will learn as the problems come. This is the after math of the split up between Dow and Dupont.You tend to work extra hours a lot since the plant is short staffed, which they are trying to address but changes probably won't happen soon. Maintenance is a weak point since there are not enough mechanics to address all the issues that plant has. You always have to fight to get resources, which gets annoying quickly. The site's infrastructure is bad. All the roads/rail road crossings/parking lots at the site in Orange, TX are in bad shape. They need some TLC or the maintenance costs for all the site's vehicles will go up because they keep hitting these pot holes. Some buildings are very old so when it rains, it leaks.
