Pros

Its a bigger company and well known. Thats about it.

Cons

They will fire you in the drop of a hat. They dont pay well and they dont give raises. Everyone has a cube and are treated like crap. No room for growth either.

Pros

When they do hire young ones, they do mean to train them. They have higher starting pay compare to similar positions in the area.

Cons

Company itself is not as caring as your co-workers. Unpredictable up-and-down cycles due to nature of refinery industry.
