      12 great yrs with Shell

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Shell looks well after its staff. Attracts smart and well educated people. Very nice offices in The Hague (corp HQ) and Rijswijk (Upstream HQ) with free gym, in-house bank, hair dresser, Shell shop and great staff restaurant. Always travelled bz class and stayed in 4*+ hotels on intercontinental trips. If you are lucky to get selected, you can get into a long term career system that promotes you at each job change (4 yrs)

      Cons

      If you're interested into advancing your career, make sure to join the selected bunch (in Shell terms: L/C or SE potential). Slow decision making and bureaucratic organization. So better not rock the boat, unless the CEO asks you to. Anglo-Dutch style of management and culture.

      Pros

      The company was privately owned by Traxx management. Very involved with employees and great training. They always promoted from within. I started as cashier and moved up to Assistant manager within 7 months.

      Cons

      There were a lot of politics with District managers if they did not like you then you might have issues such as not getting support you need or getting promoted to GM.

      Pros

      Pays well and there are some great, intelligent people to work with. Peers are really what made work bearable.

      Cons

      There are terrible people to work FOR. Advancement is based on who you know and how much you "deliver", even if what you deliver is only the minimum to move things along. This is how bad managers are able to become managers. For a company that claims to be innovative, it is sadly behind the curve. No one really wants to improve processes or be revolutionary, they just want to get things done. Don't expect special career or development opportunities unless you are a "chosen one."
