Pros
KOP facility is located in a relatively nice location at least in comparison to other chemical companies. Reasonable ability to balance work life and family life.
Cons
1. A few entrenched managers are rewarded with bonuses while the worker bees receive mediocre compensation. 2. Few advancement opportunities; these are won by brown-nosing French cronies, corporate nepotism, or affirmative action. 3. Bright engineers report to incompetent managers who constantly second guess their efforts. 4. Performance reviews are comical--almost Dilbertesque. 5. A very cliquish culture with surprisingly left-of-center employees—at least for a chemical company (French influence?) 6. Recent company survey rated management and company morale as very poor.
