Not a safe place to work

Pros

Nice co-workers, great pay.

Cons

I left because of safety concerns. In one building there is production/use of toxic sulfur dioxide. It has a suffocating smell but my manager assured me it was at a safe level to work in according to OSHA so I continued working. After leaving the plant, I continued to taste and smell the sulfur gas for hours. I kept burping and sneezing ( this was my body's way of getting rid of a foreign object). I became lightheaded so I proceeded to call poison control and they told me what to do. So as you can see they aren't "safety-oriented" really. There are railroads on the plant but no gates or flashing lights to warn pedestrians or cars when a train is coming. Accidents have happened in the past as well with train cars. Don't work here. I looked at the reviews here but ignored them. They were right.

Pros

Amazing, hard working people, that really appreciate a HR business partnership.

Cons

A company and management team that does not change and grow with the times, that is very stuck in "National Starch" ways, and is unwilling to evolve. They expect you to work long hours, and expect you to work on time off. They have no boundaries of a work life balance and micro manage all expectations. They play favorites as stated by senior management, "Nothing is higher than a Chem-E" or Chemical Engineer, and if you aren't a chemical engineer, then they think less of you.

Pros

Lots of projects available, great people to work with, work/life balance possible. Very good benefits package and 401k match

Cons

Disconnect between corporate and the plant. Many of the goals that the plants are asked to set are asked for with unfair time constraints with lack of knowledge of the operational capabilities of the plant.
