Oil and Gas industry is in a well publicised downturn - Operations Supervisor Chevron Employee Review

Pay has had very, very few cost of living increases and this drives a great workforce to competitors ( why spend so much $$$ on training employee and then run them away or make them feel unappreciated?). Unclear or unrealistic path to promotion if you are not in "the clique". Some managment downplay subordinate accomplishments as a way to get themselves recognition. Corporate supported work locations mandate and work environment is great, but some work locations (refineries for example) are run like totalitarian dictatorships from the mid 20th century and are not diverse.
