I just want to write this to give job seekers a fair shake from my point of view about some of the things to consider with this company. There are lots of nice people here who work together as a team well. But theres alot of promise for promotion and this isn’t really always accurate. The chemist role used to be a rightof passage people were in before being promoted into higher roles. But they have long unpredictable hours (you find out your next days schedule the night before), and a lot of dangerous, back-breaking work. 12+ hour days seem to be the norm. So, you can understand that these chemists should be the first to be considered when a promotion comes up. Instead of promoting the chemists, it seems like other people are often hired from outside and surpass the chemist role to fill the roles that the hard-working and more qualified chemists should have filled. If you become chemist, be prepared to spend all of your time wearing a uniform and getting dirty moving heavy drums full of chemicals. There are wows and they usually come from clients, but not really from the bosses. This place is run by talented sales people, and they sell the job and company well. They are definitely commited to their clients and will do whatever it takes to make them happy, so if you’re a client reading this, then you’re in luck. There are a few kool aide drinkers in the company that will follow these salespeople anywhere, but most people I know that work there are all pretty unhappy. The pay is not very good if you hold a degree in business or science, and I guarentee you can find probably $5/hour more if you work through a recruiter or do research or somethnig. But, I could be wrong. It seems like 1 in 30 drink the kool aide and love it there. Naysayers who work there might see this and trash it, but the ones looking up blogs are probably the kool aide drinkers anyways.
