Pros

Excellent company to work for especially as it is a growing company with focus on quality and safety.

Cons

Horrible interdepartmental politics and a very negative and tense environment in the HR function. No sense of approachability or nurturing team members to perform and deliver. The "so called" leader has problems of anxiety and has extreme temperamental issues which ruins the basic morale of the team members. Abusive language and constant demeaning on your petty mistakes ...has been the culture in the human resources function.

Business Outlook

Pros

the market values its business and is capable of providing high quality products in a reliable manner.

Cons

Highly political environment that typically rewards political play. Often inexperienced business leaders end up surrounded by ineffectual management who race to the bottom in out-performing each other in political grab games.

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees are great people who make it worth it and goes pay.

Cons

Employees are overworked to dangerous points, they are hiring people to work with very dangerous chemicals with no experience, training program is none existing, the supervisors show blatant favoritism in a union plant, aging workforce (they will lose half the plant in the next 5 years), the health insurance is horrible, supervisors constantly drop the ball and employees have to pick up the pieces which usually mean overtime, the plant is over 100 years old and it shows and safety is a joke here.
