Pros

Pay, hours, overtime, free coffee, nice office

Cons

The company offers no sick pay. The managers are extremely biased and wo try to make your job miserable so you will quit. They don't want to fire you. If a manager feels threatened by you they will try to get you fired. The managers on the o&m team is an extreme micromanager to the point where it causes you extra work. The PTO system is hectic and will show you have time when you really don't. So you get an unpaid vacation. Kemira does nothing to remedy this. Human resources also can not be trusted everything is supposed to be anonymous but they will tell your managers.

Pros

Kemira is a good company with great people and an excellent portfolio of products.

Cons

Management's growth expectations are high and probably not achievable. The bonus program is a mess and does not motivate people. Salaries are lower than average for similar positions with competitors.

The potential to be a great company is there if leadership would change.
