Pros

When you actually get a day off. I’m going to give you a real world view.

Cons

Compensation should not be a way to shut people up for terrible management and unsafe practices. Compensation is for the work and dangerous environments you put us in. You should do unannounced visits to your plants so you see the true colors of all. See the supervisors who sleep on the job. See the supervisors who don’t give a damn about honesty and integrity. They care about their jobs over anything. Racial slurs. If I was higher management I’d fire them all. Workers who do bare minimum and complain still.

Arkema Response

2mo

Arkema takes safety, ethics, and inclusion very seriously. We have a strong safety record and robust safety practices. We also have strong internal training on our Code of Conduct which clearly states our stance against the behavior this employee alleges, and also provides multiple avenues for employees to report such behavior internally. We strongly urge this employee to submit a complaint to our Ethics Hotline or other internal means of reporting so we can investigate these claims. Phone numbers and email addresses are available on our intranet for all employees’ use.
