Pros

You could gain many skills and hands-on experience while getting a market average base salary with an up to a 8% of your base salary to your 401 K from the company match and a more than 10% of your base salary to your pension plus an usual more than 10% of your base salary as your normal annual bonus. Some senior top managers care about employees.

Cons

There are very lousy on-job training, frequent reorganizations (every one or two years, depending on business units), awful office politics and many bad supervisors and middle managers. Many employees who are good at "talking" in front of management with mediocre performance are usually promoted faster than quiet hard-working employees. Employees who have two faces or are good at office politics are quite popular. Many supervisors and middle managers care about only their own promotions. The values of the company printed on the brochure stay just on paper in most of time. There are exclusive, office bullies, discrimination and retaliation work environment supported by the direct supervisors and middle managers in some business units.

Pros

Good benefits. Good training opportunities. Offices are top line, anything needed is provided.

Cons

It's their way or the highway . . . drink the purple Kool-Aid or leave. Upper management reaps hundreds of thousands, if not millions in benefits and stock options while the little guy gets nothing. Complete disregard for the worth of each employee, only the big guy benefits. Posters everywhere saying, "The Chevron Way", kind of like, "Big Brother is watching, so do it our way."
