      Record profits generated by this Refinery but currently attempting to cut benefits for hourly workers

      Pros

      They generate millions of dollars in profit monthly

      Cons

      They currently have their salaried employees operating the plant 24/7. Overall plant safety is being sacrificed by inexperienced skeleton crews and contractor maintenance. Managers, Engineers and other salaried employees are manning the units and control consoles until their labor dispute has been resolved

      Pros

      Love the covered motorcycle parking. Seemed like a decent place the first couple days.

      Cons

      Will fire you for the smallest infraction. A co-worker was fired for making a u-turn on the road in front of the plant. Company stuck in the past. I have zero tolerance for zero tolerance policies.

      Great place to work if you are young and looking for experience but not if you are already experienced and older

      Pros

      Dedicated employees who care about what they are doing. Good safety culture. Pay can be good if you are willing to go out of your way to make your boss look good or make the company more money.

      Cons

      Management treats employees like crap. My way or the highway attitude with management, from the CEO down. Management by fear leads to managers being bullies. Employee input not valued and not wanted. It is all about meeting or beating the numbers, regardless of whether the data is real or not. All of this leads to poor morale. Work-life balance is not good.
