Pros

If you apply at Chevron they will hire you quick. They will pay you more than minimum sometimes.

Cons

Chevron actually is not a bad company but the people who wants to have a name "up there". People who wants to be recognized! They will build their own rats to watch employee they want to eliminate. They listen to hearsay. I am talking about Zone Consultant that has no people skill, don't know anything how to run a business but talk nonsense as if they know everything. I wish " crowned people" assess their performance by having a mystery personnel shopper.
