Wood River Refinery pays well, but fails to have a good work-life balance for its employees.

Operations engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The high salary, the chance to make changes that have a lot of monetary value.

Cons

The lack of work/life balance. I worked 45 days straight of 10-12 hour days and only got 5 days of comp time. However, getting any comp time is atypical. Typically no comp time is given for having to work late or on weekends. The lack of business sense is frustrating. We spend a lot of time trying to save money and do the bare minimum to fix the problem. Then shortly thereafter we have to spend twice the money and time to reapply the band aid. Then we go on to the next fire to fight.

A Leader in the Industry

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Leader in the industry. Great opportunity for professional development. The Employee morale is great probably because of record oil prices. ConocoPhillips does a terrific job of incenting employees though stock incentives. The leadership is second to none and the opportunity is great as long as you are willing to be flexible geographically

Cons

Much is expected. Many hours are required. In order to advance you need to be flexible geographically. Many of the places where oil is located is inhospitable, but you know that going in.

Working here has pluses and minuses

Technical service engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You have the opportunity to take your career in many different directions. (Jobs are posted internally, but like most job-hunting networking is important.) Most people seem to have a good work-life balance. There is a lot of talk about alternative energy and developing new technology, which is exciting.

Cons

The work processes are pretty weak (relative to an ExxonMobil, for example). This allows flexibility, but also causes a lot of confusion about how to get things done and what goals are most important. Senior managers are strong, but middle management is decidedly lacking. People follow seemingly random career paths and frequntly do not have the skills and knowledge they need to manage the group below them very effectively.
