ExxonMobil Process Support Analyst reviews

Management at the lowest level at least is generally inept, especially at managing the people they oversea. The ones promoted into management from NMPT are mostly yes-men, who don't rock the boat at the expense of the staff they oversea. The ones who do challenge the system to improve the workings of the company are overlooked for protons and kept at the bottom where they will "cause the least trouble". Impossible to plan and take leave due to shift schedule, and there is no room for negotiation, even when there is a surplus of staff, leave will only be approved at the last minute in case anyone takes medical leave. Non- management staff are treated like children and are punished freely using warning letters, delays in promotion, withholding pay increments, performance bonus. Frequently non-management staff are made to take the fall for plant failures. Safety is encouraged but are too stifling, making it difficult to get any job done. At the junior management level safety is only implemented as a farce and not believed in by lower management who push such initiatives by higher management just so they don't seem to be troublemakers. Bad place to work, all the good staff leave.

The overwhelming sensation that you are just a small cog in a very large machine. Failure to recognise employee intelligence and offer internal promotion based upon this. Diabolical training system. Repetitive and uninteresting jobs. Out-of-date technology - computers, etc. Culture of bullying and harassment - this is promoted my the business management teams. A "one size fits all" management style that does not recognise an individual's needs or goals. Unsympathetic corporate policies. Anti trade union attitude from senior management. Health & safety - merely a lip service within this organisation.
