Pluspunten

As a QA Chemist, you will start out at a decent salary. The benefits are really competitive... up to 4% match on 401k, Health, Dental, Vision, and Pension.

Minpunten

Work environment is very busy and monotonous. Basically a lackie for all other departments, not much support from management. Advancement is very limited, and favorites are picked early. Most promotions simply happen without notice and without the opportunity to apply. Done expect any real professional training, continuing ed, etc. You are a Chemist in title only... your real function is to work tirelessly on a host of useless testing designed to make you appear busy at all times. Ideas are only encouraged or acceptable within the "inner circle" of company favorites.

Pluspunten

Pay is good, bonuses are low, benefits have decreased every year Lunch in cafeteria is great Shift relief time was good, had enough time after work to be with family We sure miss Bonnie out there , she’s great.

Minpunten

Micromanaging - Extreme lack of trust Overall morale for the whole site is way down starting from 2018 Bias Backstabbing Incompetency - certain employees promoted to next level without actually knowing or understanding the process No work life balance, we’re told that doesn’t apply to production workers. Overtime hours avg 400-700 hours a year No room for employee growth or thoughts on process productivity/troubleshooting acknowledged if you’re not in the clique 3-2-2-3 shift schedule swapping from nights to day each time led to overall fatigue. Needs to be 2 weeks of nights and 2 weeks of days. HR is an overall joke, they used to be superb until COVID and the new site manager. Preach safety but turn a blind eye when it’s convenient to reach production. Then fault the operators or maintenance personnel if something happens.
