Less than decent

Assistant manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing worth talking about. It is literally one of the worst jobs I've had entirely due to the store owner. I have literally more than doubled the sales of the store in less than a year and there is no appreciation or trust credited to me.

Cons

No benefits, low pay, responsibilities outweigh the pay by far too much. The owner is horrific to work for and Chevron has nothing to do with Chevron, they only allow companies to use their name and branding.

Plenty of Opportunities to Grow

Facilities engineer intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- the internship program ensures that assigned projects add value to the team and teaches the intern useful skills - great work/life balance (9/80 schedule, flexible work hours, taking vacations is promoted & not frowned upon) - the culture promotes people to mentor each other (mentoring programs are available, new-employee development programs are mandatory) - moving to a different or higher position is very possible if you have the experience and the network of people

Cons

Working in the oil & gas business is not a stable position to be in, especially as an intern. Open positions are limited and highly competitive among the students. In order to get to the position you want to be in, you have to know people that are willing to stick their neck out for you (and vice versa).

Good team environment and managers that want to teach their employees to have useful skills.

Cons

Hard to get let go so there are some freeloaders who get paid to do the bare minimum.
