DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

Sometimes you will get more hours, and you work by yourself,

Cons

No full time hours available, cant use sick hours since there are only a small number of people working, dealing with drunk/high people a lot, dealing with angry customers a lot, a lot of homeless people come by try to lay down by the store or steal something, owner doesn't care about fixing the pumps or the employee bathroom, the manager will bend over backwards for any customer but wont protect their own employees from harrassment, HR doesnt care either and will only protect the manager since she's their lapdog and will do whatever they say, HR will get mad at you for clocking in 2 or 3 minutes too early and counts that as "overtime". There is no employee break room, so you'll have to hang out in the soapy Joe's break room, There is no room for promotion, even one of the other cashier's that has been here for 4 years makes the same amount as someone working there for 1 year, due to the owner wanting to save more money in his pocket. Even everything in the store went up by .30 cents and the gas a few months ago was $4.19 to $4.79. I have a bad feeling this store will be going out of business in the next 2 years.

Pros

There is a good work life balance, benefits, and culture and the compensation is good for the location. Large technical resource pool and leadership.

Cons

The cons are that the oil and gas industry is cyclical and so layoffs do happen. There is also a traditional culture so no fully remote opportunities.

bureaucratic mess, good benefits

Pros

Decent salary and good benefits. People are generally nice. Can be really cushy if you're OK just doing the minimum to get a good review/bonus. I think the happiest people are the ones who find a sweet spot and ride things out for a long period (long-term benefits are great).

Cons

We're in a slowly dying industry and lack a clear direction forward. This is reflected in our inability to attract and retain talent from top universities. Think to yourself, why would an engineer from Stanford go to Chevron instead of a tech firm? Internally, we have an exhausting bureaucracy that is highly political and difficult to navigate. At the heart, this is an engineering company, and it is presumed that engineers can do anything. In an era of changing dynamics and enormous pressure from investors and policymakers to move away from fossil fuels, the old school engineer mentality could end up being our downfall. If you're not an engineer (i.e., you're a market analyst, economist, climate person) I'd recommend staying away--you're career path will likely be limited here, and you'll be frustrated by the slow pace, extra work to deal with enormous overhead, and lack of clarity on our goals.
