Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, 1st class people. Work life balance, many supervisors and managers are good to work for (and with).

Cons

Cyclical industry. You have to be ready for downsizing. Being aligned politically with the right people helps you survive (but this is true for any organization). Chevron's culture is "too nice." We very seldom fire poor performers -- we wait for a downsizing, then clean house. People seldom confront each other in meetings (political correctness, not wanting to offend). This drives a lot of passive aggressive behavior. But once you understand the culture, it is a great place to work. We are laid back compared to Exxon.

Pros

The pay and retirement benefits are as high as one would expect from a large oil company. Two weeks of vacation for the first five years.

Cons

The rotating 12 hour shifts are hard to deal with especially when you add in all the overtime you have to work. I worked 60-72 hours per week on average for 3 years. Seniority dominates the culture at Chevron.
