Pros

The salary & benefits package is very good. "DP Days" (every other Friday off) is great (vacation policy is only OK). There are some great people in this organization (but,sadly, too few of them in management positions).

Cons

Senior management either have no clue about how sour the mood within the company is, or they know and can't/won't do any thing about it. There are too many silos in this operation, and little co-operation between them. Management seems more concerned with pleasing their own bosses in HQ (California) than providing any real leadership locally (i.e. they manage up, not down). There is little room for growth within this branch of Chevron, as there are very few senior positions and most are locked up by long-term employees.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
