Pros

Generous and well-rounded benefits package. WFH / hybrid flexibility if you work in Corporate. Moving management systems in the right direction to align more closely with industry best practices. High emphasis on employee safety. Smaller company so things move quickly.

Cons

Budget cuts lead to asset reliability impacts. No 9/80 or WFH flexibility for refinery personnel. Changing this is critical to attract engineering talent, especially when 3 of the 4 refinery assets are not in attractive areas to live and have a family. Only 6 weeks of paid maternity leave while industry peers have much more. Refinery personnel have to sit in on lunch meetings scheduled by Corporate and watch them eat. More like a pet peeve but so tacky! At least offer to buy lunch...

Pros

You can get a good payout if you can tolerate the toxicity.

Cons

While the initial recruitment pitch is polished, the internal reality is a culture defined by a "run by a few, for a few" mentality. There is a palpable lack of regard for the broader team, as leadership appears primarily focused on their own career optics in a way that feels exclusionary to those doing the heavy lifting. * The "Two-Year" Trap: Top talent is often brought in under the guise of long-term opportunity, only to find an environment designed for short-term extraction. This has created a cycle of constant turnover and a "revolving door" of staff. * Health and Balance: The workload is relentless, and the lack of work-life balance quickly takes a toll on your physical and mental health. Many stay only because the "golden handcuffs" of a high salary make them feel trapped. * Management Style: There is very little genuine investment in team morale or development. Once you're in, the focus shifts entirely to output, often at the expense of the individual’s well-being. Final Verdict: Despite the strong pay and talented peers, the high turnover rate and disregard for the team make this a difficult environment to recommend for the long term.
