Pros

Get a paycheck to keep a roof over your head.

Cons

Middle & Senior Management have no accountability. Lower level employees do all the hard work. Good old boys network. Manager will not let you do your work without micromanaging, and are not open to doing this a new, more efficient manner. No room for growth. Everyone is scared to speak their mind or raise concerns because any complaints will turn into an immediate termination. They will come up with an excuse for letting you go even if you did nothing wrong. Middle and Senior Management have no idea how to run a business. They are too busy micromanaging rather than focusing on the big picture. Buyers beware. ARKEMA SUCKS!!!!

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue

Pros

Site Culture Global specialty materials strategy has proven to be quite good

Cons

Resource constraints. But this is quite common in chemicals/specialty materials these days from what I hear.
