Pros

There are none - not one

Cons

This company is badly lead at all levels, that I cannot recommend working there to anyone. Sr Leadership has just gone through yet another round of shuffling the deck chairs, adding even more highly paid Directors and VPs. No one at this level is EVER held accountable for the failings of their BUs. Manufacturing - This is where the accountability comes into play. However, there has been little to no investment in the operations. The batches are all compounded or reacted in second hand equipment installed on a shoestring. If you are applying for an operator role... Go find another job. These roles are hot (all the time) and manual loading 45-50 lb bags of raw materials into the mixers/ reactors. Each batch can have 3 pallets of raws. The Royal acquisition has stressed every conceivable department w/o the payback that was forecasted. The majority of these facilities are very unsafe and lacked even more investment than the legacy facilities. The service on this debt that was done to finance the acquisition is crushing and will be felt for years. Everyone in the organization seems to be looking to everyone else in the company to do work that can't be done because there isn't enough people to be the 'best place to work'. Now there is the project grow that is being led by TC the COO. This guy came from Royal and will no doubt result in the investments in the facilities being decreased. There is little upside. Bottom line - There is no reason to work for this company unless you get into the VP club where there is zero accountability.
