Pros

Chevron has a vision of integrity, honesty, and trust and for cultivating the most competent and diverse employees. There's a lot of opportunity for advancement, and the compensation and benefits are great. There's also a lot of trust between employees and Senior Leadership. Chevron also regularly communicates with employees through both web-based conferences and face-to-face meetings between Senior Leadership and all employees. We always have a good idea about the happenings in the company, and that's a great feeling.

Cons

There's a lot of fear with the company's stability in relation to the current economic state. The price of oil is directly related to the company's budget and ability to retain staff. Right now, we're not sure what's going to happen, and that's causing a lot of tension and anxiety with many.

Pros

Chevron is a good place to work and build a career. The people are all very friendly. There are lots of learning opportunities and organizations that you can join. Chevron is really trying to turn the company around, and there is many leadership roles for gen y. A lot of the baby boomers are reaching the age of retirement so there will be a lot of management roles opening up for the next couple years. Company has a strong profile and is a laid back friendly place.

Cons

Different groups have different cultures. Some work groups don't need to put in the long hours during close, yet maybe in the same grade you are in.

Pros

Work is relevant and important. There are opportunities to work in different areas of the business and in different technologies over the course of a career. The benefits include a yearly bonus, excellent contributions to a 401K, and a pension plan. Employees participate in a yearly survey and the results ot the survey are taken seriously. Advancement within the company is possible. Chevron's facilities and equipment are operated safety and reliably. Alternative work schedules are available and widely used.

Cons

There is still a "Good Old Boys" culture in some parts of the organization. The pace is fast and the workload can cause significant stress and long work hours.
