Pros
If you're interested in chemical engineering, EM is the ideal place for you. The whole industry focuses around chemical engineering with lots of support groups to help you accomplish your job. As another engineer, you play primarily a support role. While the compensation is great, the role changes little when advancing outside of chemical engineering. In essence, you always support chemical engineers, but some people like this aspect of the job because you're always working with people. Again, great benefits and competitive pay.
Cons
Not the greatest location. Beaumont is a big city with enough activity to keep you entertained, however you shouldn't expect the grandeur of a stereotypical big city.
