Great Union Job, Dangerous Industry - Refinery Operator Marathon Petroleum Employee Review

Pros

Great pay, good benefits, union job, strong job security, you work 14 out of every 28 days, so half the year.

Cons

Schedule can be demanding, it’s a modified DuPont, so, rotating 12 hour shifts. Lots of time off, but, when OT ramps up, you might be living at work for a few weeks. Oil refineries are dangerous places to be. Everything you work with can kill you if you’re not being careful, and the company absolutely prioritizes profits and throughput. They want YOU to be safe, but they aren’t afraid to cut a corner or turn a blind eye if it means the refinery doesn’t have to shut down.

Pros

There is a new CHRO in 2026. My rating is on former leadership. So glad someone saw how toxic the former CHRO was and she Is no longer there.

Cons

Unfortunately, it took 8 years and the loss of several great employees to see her behavior.
