Pros

Great team and good people, good salary, not so stressful working environment, large number of employees at the refinery, therefore a good number of young people with similar interests.

Cons

Closure of refinery was hard and left a lot of people naturally feeling sour towards the company. Internally focused, sometimes hiring internally to fill roles rather than looking externally to potentially better qualified people. Selective with support of staff i.e. who gets support for external study, roles changes to new departments etc.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
