Pros

My supervisor and colleagues are a great group of people. My supervisor is extremely understanding with his employees to be able to take care of its family in time of need. My supervisor is the best supervisor I have ever worked for.

Cons

Negative media and press surrounding BP Texas City Refinery makes it a difficult work environment. The Texas City refinery has received some backlash from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
