Pros

Good pay is all I can think of.

Cons

Phillips 66 has deep rooted nepotism, cronyism, favoritism, and good ole boy network. If an employee is not in the clique it can be a very toxic work environment. Management hires their sons and relatives and puts their sons in a fast track to supervisor roles and on and on up to senior management. There is a hierarchy of first the sons, then cronies and friends and if not in one of these categories it will be a dead end job with no chance of advancement. There are double standards and no equal treatment, there 2 different methods of treatment, one for the clique and one for those not in the clique. Promotions are not based on qualifications, knowledge, leadership skills, but based on who you are related to or your kissing up skills. If you are related to someone in management or good at kissing up you will do well at Phillips 66, if not then you won't.
