Dupont
Production Associate (Former Employee), Chesterfield, VA –
Pros: job security
Cons: shift work
As an employee I first value that very word! I put my job at the top of the list of things that matter and are important.I worked at Dupont for a total of 22 years and worked in several areas there.I learned very early to be a team player that provides a great work environment and produces to excellent material that was being processed in that specific – more...  area.I valued my co-workers and especially their time and dedication that we as a team put into such a giving company as Dupont.A typical day at work was delightful in the fact that we were working on the same given task that was to provide an excellent product with the Dupont name attached.The hardest part of my job at Dupont has to be working shiftwork.Eventhough,I did it for a number of years that has to be the most difficult part of the job.There were perks to each shift but sleep deprivation has to adjusted on shift work.My management at Dupont has to be one of the best things at Dupont.They are very "hands-on helpful and always available to be contacted if needed.The most enjoyable part of the job at Dupont has to be the that I was part of family that is world wide known that carries through generations past and present and future! – less

Waste of time position
General Laborer (Former Employee), Richmond, VA –
Pros: great pay
Cons: temporary work
DuPont was only hiring Limited Service Employees which meant you could only work for 9 months max. We knew this going in, but thought it was a way to get in the door. From day one, we were told by Trainers and Managers that if we came to work, did a good job, and worked safe, we would more than likely make permanent. Many of us rode this roller coaster – more...  for the full nine months and then were laid off. Towards the end, the company made it clear they were going to keep the department we worked in as a revolving door of limited service employees. It's really ashame because we took the job seriously and put more pride in our work than the permanent employees did. I don't recommend this position to anyone unless you need the money and you continue to look for work elsewhere. – less

DuPont was a great place to work. Good benefits, good culture, reasonable pay. DuPont likes to promote from within so many opportunities to advance to different positions. I only left due to distance from home.

Good if you actually make it as a Dupont employee
Production and Manufacturing Technician (Former Employee), Wilmington, Newark –
Pros: starting pay, hours.
Cons: job security, bad management.
I've been a contractor with Dupont three different times and never again. They tell you its a year or maybe even three but if production and money totals isn't where they like it, they will cut you loose without thinking about it. I can't even get my things out of my locker, they are so crazy about it. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how dedicated – more...  you are, they will mostly never make you a Dupont employee. – less

Career advancement based more on bureaucratic than result
Technology engineer (Current Employee), Wilmington, DE –
Pros: strong safety culture, good working environment, good colleagues, satisfactory pay and benefits, established corporate culture
Cons: bureaucratic, management lack vision, manufacturing process not par with competition
Good ol' boy culture. Advancement weighs heavily on popularity with management than actual result. Safety has evolved to risk aversion. Not a lot of room for growth and development. Horrible work/life balance. 40 Hours is unacceptable, 50 is expected, frequent calls at home and weekends.

Great Place to work with great rewards and fringe benefits!
Contracter-Lab Technician (Former Employee), RTP, NC –
Pros: no uniforms or formal dress code, occasional lunches paid for by management, no set schedule
I loved working fro this company. This is a company that believes that their employers have lives outside of work, and they respect that. Therefore, family men and women who work for DuPont can feel comfortable knowing that they can still be family-oriented and be a great worker at DuPont. DuPont has strong moral values. I have never felt more comfortable – more...  and secure in my job than when I was with DuPont. They also strongly oppose micro-management because they believe, as most employees would agree, that it degrades employee morale and demotivates even the best of employees. Therefore, you never have to worry about a manager breathing over your shoulder all the time. Instead, they assume that you know your responsibilities ahead of time, and as long as you complete them in a reasonable amount of time, you will always have job security. – less
