ConocoPhillips is a great safe place to work for both family oriented and non-family oriented people.
Pros
The people at ConocoPhillips are great to work with. You don't feel like you're just a number. At most companies, you feel like there are revolving doors with people constantly leaving, but that is not the case here. If you're in the finance or most other aspects of the company, you don't have to live in the "big" city for your "big break." There are plenty opportunities right here in Bartlesville and it's a good place to raise children and have a family. Higher ranking officers from the corporate office even drop by to your office from time to time and come to each person's individual desk to talk to you to get feedback. On top of all that, the company has GREAT PAY and WONDERFUL BENEFITS. The company is always looking for more ways to improve and satisfy its employees. So far, it has been a great company to work for.
Cons
I have not experienced any downsides yet since I've been with the company and I don't expect to experience any. I've enjoyed everyday at work and the jobs are challenging, but not too challenging to the point where they can't be completed.
