Good Place to Coast to Retirement

Pros

Valero offers a stable career with a lot of benefits beyond the standard salary and health benefits. The company is situated on a beautiful campus that includes gym, basketball court, tennis courts, full-service medical clinic for employees and family, cafeteria, subsidized daycare facility, etc.

Cons

Due to the desirability of the amenities and brand recognition, the company has historically been able to hire at relatively lower salaries. Career growth and any significant growth in compensation is somewhat of a crapshoot. Employees are typically looking for a place to retire not seek professional development. Status quo is acceptable. It's not a great place to work if you are seeking professional development.

Pros

Benefits are great and the people are fun to work with. However, Management in the front office are horrible.

Cons

Management needs some improvement. Getting rid of most of them and starting fresh would be great.

Pros

Gained valuable knowledge that I took with me to my next job

Cons

They force you to work overtime or they threaten to take your vacation away if you don't cover open shift. Every year around bonus time and time for your raise you and everyone else gets blind sided with negative feedback and a few chosen people will excel. Would rather have seen a flat line across the board raise to everyone to make it more of a team reward.
