      Pros

      Depending on the site you work at, you can have either great people with little office politics. A Lyondell site is a great place to work, a Basell site not so much.

      Cons

      There are obvious clique's and either you're in them or you're shunned. There is not a good culture. Not many training opportunities compared to other companies Pay isn't competitive.

      Too many office politics, limited opportunities for advancement and refinery is attempting to be operated as a chemical plant.

      Pros

      The average employee cares about their unit and equipment, but getting equipment repaired can be a painfully slow process. Upper management is visible, and can be a good ally.

      Cons

      Plant is divided into color-coded teams, creating division and a lot of politics. Maintenance resources seem skeletal and constant restructuring is the norm. No long term plant managers, so look forward to massive changes every three to four years. With these changes, outside people are brought in from the manager's previous company, curtailing the ability to promote from within.
