Pros

The global company is fantastic.

Cons

The Asheville location is run by completely incompetent, racist, classist, sexist “good old boys” who cover for each other and refuse to abide by the global company’s values. Pay is insulting low, and there are zero opportunities for advancement. The arrogance on the part of leadership is astounding. They truly think they know better than senior scientists and top executives how to run an international chemical company.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
