      DO NOT JOIN THIS ORGANIZATION

      Pros

      Get a paycheck to keep a roof over your head.

      Cons

      Middle & Senior Management have no accountability. Lower level employees do all the hard work. Good old boys network. Manager will not let you do your work without micromanaging, and are not open to doing this a new, more efficient manner. No room for growth. Everyone is scared to speak their mind or raise concerns because any complaints will turn into an immediate termination. They will come up with an excuse for letting you go even if you did nothing wrong. Middle and Senior Management have no idea how to run a business. They are too busy micromanaging rather than focusing on the big picture. Buyers beware. ARKEMA SUCKS!!!!

      Pros

      I'm referring to the very short ones that provide no input, only a high rating to pump up the company's overall rating. These people should at least learn how to spell so that they look authentic. As for the pros, the company is a good training ground, but don't expect to go anywhere unless you're French

      Cons

      A hostile work environment once they decide you're too expensive to keep due to your years of experience.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      flexible work hours, very good co-workers

      Cons

      mediocre pay and benefits, one of the few remaining chemical companies that does not give bonuses to scientists, all major decisions happen in France, only a puppet US management team US workers are not valued (perhaps in the past, but not now)
