Pros

Relatively stable employer with decent benifits but not great benifits. Very dedicated employees at my work location. Produce petroleum products which are in high demand.

Cons

Heavily regulated environment by the goverment. Oil companies are routinely portrayed very unfairly buy the press and politicians. Retirement benifits not as good as other oil companies. The company is not an intergrated oil company with oil reserves therefore very dependent on good refining margins. Hourly workers are Union employees which tends to stifle productivity and innovation.

Not a bad place to work, just lacks diversity

Pros

Great benefits, great salaries, I had great bosses and flexibility. There are also a lot of great employee incentives like jean days, bonus breakfasts, and United Way kickoff parties.

Cons

There is not a good mix of diversity, which is one of my biggest complaints. It's just very very old school corporate America, very conservative. Some people are perfectly fine with that, so it's really a matter of preference.

Till the very last second you do not know what is going to happen to you.
