Pros

Some good people.....but not in positions that can make a dui

Cons

Lots of bad blood. Backstabbing and unethical practices are common. The good people are fleeing, or already gone. Hiring of lower and lower class people and talking bad about the competition is new SOP. Company used to engage in healthy competition and were able to provide customer service good enough to win business. Not now.

Private Equity (PE) is destroying this company

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people (what is left of them - so many have been let go to meet the blind requirements for specific metrics required by PE ownership).

Cons

Company will do anything to meet short term requirements of PE, with no concern for longer term impact. PE has failed at attempt to go public and now appears to be gearing up for either large scale acquisitions or break up with sell off.

Poor Leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Some talented people still in place

Cons

Lack of commitment to chemical distribution by senior leadership. Looking to reduce head count to appease private equity. Apparent emphasis on reducing the number of experienced employees in order to get new people at lower compensation.
