Business Outlook

Pros

Pay & Benefits are great. Even the 7 days off a month is nice. Bonus each year changes but is always nice too. Stability and increase in pay are also pluses.

Cons

Long hours on rotating shifts. Middle management has so many issues. Basically it is a big corporation who doesn't care about the little people. Not a team environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay, the work rules, the strong union support, and the benefits are some of the best in corporate America.

Cons

There is still a "good ole' boy network" internally that overlooks racism and sexism. Internal immediate management tends to recognize and select people for advancement based on relationships and not necessarily merit.

Great work life balance. Great workplace amenities.

Cons

No leadership and management. No Direction. Business unit metrics are completely misaligned to the tenets of operation. very Political like most large companies. Lower compensation as compared to ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Shell and BP. Very poor business model within Etc that leads to in efficiencies and a dangerous level of integrity.
