Pros

Lots of opportunities for training. Very safe workplace. I was given lots of responsibility without anyone looking over my shoulder. Great people.

Cons

You could tell the recent merger was changing the Lyondell way. Because it is a big company corporate HR managed the co-op program and was not as interested in your worth but rather just being able to fill the position with someone who is able to fill it.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
