Pros

Great Pay: Very high starting pay no matter what level. Great Benefits: 100% Benefits paid (Dental, medical, vision, etc.) Generous Bonus: Always exceed 100% (Avg 175%) Safety: One of the best employers who actually care about safety not just a buzzword.

Cons

Work life balance: Turnarounds can last months and usually required 24/7 coverage from almost all departments. However this is any oil & gas company. Lack of direction: All refineries work independently it seems. No one refinery does things the same. Growth in Company: Company advancement seems to be "who you know". Limited Locations: If you are wanting to get out of the Midwest, only Memphis and Wilmington remain.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Campus is really nice.

Cons

Poor management. Behind on technology. No flexibility on hours or working from home. Always pushing for more work with less staff. Very nepotism and good ole boy network driven for advancement.
