Pros

Located in San Antonio (cheap cost of living) On site doctors

Cons

Lane Riggs delayed Promotions, then had his executives deny 80% of them Lane Riggs promoted his friends out of cycle and gave them massive raises, then excluded normal employees the following month. Land prorated bonuses based on promotions to save money Leadership is a joke. Pay is terrible for the Oil and Gas industry No work from home HR is trash You have to pay for a parking permit through a “optional” united way donation Still using Skype Backwards thinking leadership NO WORK CULTURE. Only toxicity.

Pros

-Most of the people that you get to work with are pretty great*. -As long as you're doing your job, you are pretty much left alone and not micromanaged. -Valero has strong long term stability and is not known to lay off people regularly, even during covid. -Work is challenging and rewarding without being overbearing. Benefits are top end**: annual bonuses, generous 401k match, pension, healthcare options. -HQ at San Antonio has plentiful amenities, including a gym, tennis/basketball courts, covered parking, health clinics and childcare onsite, a cafeteria with plentiful options. -Last but not least, Valero is pretty active with charities and involved in the community, it's encouraged and they do a good job of making it appealing, they reward generosity.

Cons

* Because of the industry, it does trend white good ole boy-ish and pretty conservative, anyone to the left of the average newsmax viewer would raise their eyebrow from time to time, never feel fully comfortable. It's almost expected that you indulge in the occasional rant. ** Salary is below industry standards, and salary growth can also be slow. Long term career growth can be unclear, you have to make a really active effort to reach the next level(s). Despite the cons, the pros more than make up for it.
