Spinoff on the Plaquemine thread.

Best: Lake Charles Refining (small, privately owned local company)
Worst: Indorama (Will blow up at any moment)

Should say the LC/Sulphur/Westlake area.

Strangely I don't think there's any big refineries/plants in Lafayette.

I’m assuming it has to be about access to ports.

There's enough chemicals in the Vermillion already.

I think that’s going to depend on what you do at the plant and what unit you’re in (if you’re at a big plant).

I work at one of the bigger facilities in Environmental, and I love it, but there are other groups in the same plant that I’d never, ever want to be a part of.

Not a big enough waterway to get in and out.

Instrument tech here. I’ve worked for a few as a contractor, and I’m on permanently at one.

Indorama is the worst.
As a contractor, Citgo sucked.
P66 is good
Westlake south wasn’t bad

I have a buddy that is an operator there, and while he likes it, the pay is pretty bad. I’ve heard good things about Westlake, Lyondell, Sasol, Entergy, and the LNG plants if that counts.
