Pros

Great place to work. Competent management and motivated co-workers. Company really cared about employees well being and there was great opportunity for professional growth and development. The Carson plant had a lot of great people and strong culture left over from the ARCO days.

Cons

BP seemed to go a little overboard on all the feel good sometimes. Would have liked to see a little more focus on results and performance. And, of course, the spill in the Gulf was challenging.

Pros

Great Salary & Benefits !!

Cons

We were acquired - BP changed everything. Then realized we had it right originally, and tried to change back.
