Factory setting. Production driven
Senior Casting Operator (Former Employee), Florence, SC – January 25, 2013
Pros: broad range of experience gained that could be carried forward
Cons: the company ceased operations in my area, resulting in my layoff
The work day was centered around efficiency and production. Promised delivery dates had to be kept, and in doing this, safety was first priority. I led a team of 5 - 6 employees on a Mylar production line and learned a lot about managing people, time and resources. My co-workers were very helpful in keeping things running smoothly while I focused on – more... other aspects of the operation. The hardest part of the job was the 12 hour, rotating shifts. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to complete my shift and have all of my people leaving without injury, as well as having produced a product that passed inspection and was ready for sale. I also enjoyed the challenge involved with coordinating with other areas and people in order to produce a good product. – less

A decent organization with some flaws
Quality Control Administrator (Current Employee), Madison, WI – November 30, 2012
Pros: performance awards, tickets to local events, and a safe work environment
Cons: management structure
A typical work day consists of entering data from testing results, ordering supplies, investigations and miscellaneous daily functions as needed.

I have learned more about teamwork, communication and that safety is important.

Management at the facility that I work in is not excellent. Favoritism is often noticed and is generally more rewarded.

Co-workers – more... are decent people that are knowledgeable in their fields and are a pleasure to work with.

Hardest part of this position is the management.

Most enjoyable is the extra incentives, like baseball games, tickets to local events and performance awards. – less

Company with high ideals and innovative advances in several fields.
Senior Legal Secretary (Former Employee), Wilmington, DE – October 24, 2012
Pros: excellent benefits, employee respect
Cons: i would recommend this company to everyone
My days at DuPont were professional in nature. They represented many pleasant memories as well as instructions to expand knowledge in my department. I was given information about other opportunities in the company so I was able to gain experience in several positions.

My co-workers were cooperative and we supported one another. Management allowed me – more... to use creative ways to complete tasks.
During extremely busy times I had to prioritize many responsibilities to complete projects as required.
I enjoy working with people and being creative when presented with challenges. I liked this part of all the positions I held with DuPont. – less

Great Job
Laborer (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – October 3, 2012
It was a great job opportunity, but I was only an Limited Service employee with the company. With being an LSE we are subject to layoffs after we reach 1600 hrs with the company. I'm still waiting to heat from the company about my return.

Energetic, excellent work environment and never borrowing
Scheduling Coordinator (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – September 18, 2012
Pros: having access to the ceo due to serving as an corporate executive board member..
Cons: having to force yourself to go home at the end of the day.
Multi-tasking various job functions, telephone ringing off the hook even with a 3-line pick-up, reading emails every 10-15 minutes.

A self-managed work environment, managers always were in meetings, traveling or off-site.

Great co-workers, which was a plus, because of the teamwork concept the company implemented and promoted globally.

The hardest – more... part was scheduling conference calls with global customers or plant locations and trying to flex work schedule to communicate with two global customers or plants in different time zones in the same day.

Having flexible work schedules inclusive of working from home, no vacation roster, self-managed environment. – less

Diversified multinational with strong core values
Building Innovations Territory Manager Upper Gulf (Current Employee), Riyadh, S01 – September 13, 2012
Pros: good housing and education allowances
Cons: slow career development
Working from Home requires good discipline and pre arrangements for the meetings. My Manger should always be aware of new opportunities and summaries of meetings held.
As one of the biggest chemical companies in the world, I am surrounded with colleagues from different countries and cultures. I really enjoy this experience
Personal and family safety – more... and security are at the top of company's priorities, this keeps me always feeling secured.
Being alone with a geographic area of 6 countries, that's makes me fully busy even after working day is finished. – less

Very nice place to work the people were cool the job was hard but they made it easy to do.
Packaging Operator/ Forklift Driver (Former Employee), Orange, TX – September 7, 2012
Pros: good pay, good atmosphere, great management, good time for breaks
Cons: the job was too short, mostly outside work, had to work in rain, no set schedule
This company was good to work for the experience factor. They trained you to do your job before putting you to work, and also stressed the importance of safety at the workplace. The management was good although seemed to be tough on others, but as long as you did your job you had no problems. They hired everyone under the sun, meaning it was all different – more... types of personalities that sometimes clashed however the management always handled the situation in an adult manner and ended any conflict before it escalated further than need be. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the assembly line, at times it sped up to a point you was always moving and was so exhausted at the end of the day, however it was nothing that we couldn't handle. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with all the different people that you would find in your typical refinery setting. It was amazing to see how different we all were but how similar we were at the same time. I enjoyed working here very much and if I'm still in orange when it comes back around. – less
