INEOS Styrolution

A normal day consisted of checking the progress of the current project, seeing to support tickets, and responding to other needs of employees.

I learned how to use Active Directory, Sharepoint, Outlook, USMT, as well as better time management skills. 

The workplace culture was very casual. 

The hardest part of the job was dealing with issues that did not have usable solutions. For example: a piece of hardware was not compatible with the new operating system. The only solution was to order an up to date version of the hardware that would cost close to $3000. This was considered doable but was disappointing as I had hoped to get the existing hardware functioning.

The most enjoyable part of the job was how much fresh air I could get. There was a lot of walking around involved and a good bit of it took me outside.

INEOS is a very large global organization with many business units underneath it, Styrolution being one of them. 

PROS: 
- Exceptional pay and bonus structure 
- Good Benefits
- Flexibility to work from home if needed
- Supportive colleagues and managers that will help you and want to see you succeed
- Good company culture for the most part

CONS:
- Limited ability to move upward within the organization unless you are willing to relocate to one of the corporate offices
-Approval procedures and processes are frequently changed by Managers/Executives; can be cumbersome and frustrating at times for employees responsible for gaining approvals

Depending on the industry where you are employed, N+1 manager is well aware of the employee's concerns, however he also hits the wall of the rigidity of the HQ management. Communication (about assets, circular economy,..) is blurrish and confusing so it is quite difficult to present circular solutions to our customer base. 
Learning process fully depends on yourself.


The company as a whole is easy to work for. The people are friendly, the management is alright, and the pay is decent. When it comes to work life balance though, there is an expectation that you drop everything and assist no matter time of day. The company is investing money in the plants to try to help get ahead of the chaos that is created by reliability events, but until that point is achieved, there are a lot of reactive tasks which makes long term goals near impossible to achieve. I have had the opportunity to learn a lot working here -- both what to do and what not to do. I'd recommend it to others. 

Having joined INEOS Styrolution eight months ago, I can confidently say it has been a rewarding experience. From day one, I’ve been impressed by the supportive culture and the opportunities for growth and development. The management team is transparent and approachable, fostering an environment where employees feel valued and empowered. The company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is inspiring, and I’m proud to be part of a team that is making a positive impact in the petrochemical industry. 


Good pay with internal growth opportunities if performance is sufficient. Lots of overtime available. Older site. Corporate is a bit unattached from the site and needs of the site. Opportunities for relocation within the company. Benefits are good. Vacation time is good. Much could be added as cons, but all in all, it has served me and my family with a decent job for over 25 years now. Unfortunately, the site is closing down in 2025 stating too much import competition.

I was employed as an intern for the Texas City, TX site. Overall it was a wonderful entrance into the world of chemical engineering however, there was no room for progression when it comes to a turnover rate from intern to full-time employee. This site, at the time of my internship, was experiencing a period where they were only hiring seasoned engineers in all aspects of their plant.

I worked as an intern and had the opportunity to gain so many great industry experiences and have amazing skills for my resume. Everyone was very supportive and helpful while I was there, people were always excited to answer questions and let me attend meetings and assist with projects I was interested in. There was a great community. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
They pay well, and most of the people are nice.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is clueless, training is awful. Leaving the plant in the afternoon is horrible with traffic. The schedule they work sucks.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Walking on eggshells. Everyone is out for everyone.

A chemical manufacturing company that is growing its market share with new products. Employees work independently at their job assignments. Must be able to interpret the facts with little direction from management.
