Pros

The food is good offshore, and the 401k is OK.

Cons

Chevron covers up most of their accidents from the authorities, then fires the injured employees. Operations Managers and Supervisors have no morals or leadership experience/training. Inexperienced people from Mississippi are hired to work in Louisiana, Cajuns and Creoles from Louisiana are discriminated against. Promotions usually go to non-Louisiana employees.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
