      Too big for its own good

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, and work/life balance. Lots of autonomy and macromanagement depending on department.

      Cons

      certain departments such as government affairs are under paid and uner appreciated. Chesapeake grew too fast when gas prices were at their all time high last year. As a result, departments that were created are now under scrutiny to show value and releveance. The result? Layoffs brouht on by management hiring WAY too many people when the economy was good.

      Pros

      Great pay, great people, great work! I really enjoy working here, yes it is a lot of hard work but is very rewarding. It is fun to come to work each day wondering what challenge you will have the opporunity to tackle next. We do not dodge these challenges and in many ways we look for them, knowing that we have the creativity, the talent and the work ethic to overcome any hurdle. Everyone is treated as equals and on day one you will be given tremendous responsibility reflecting the trust that upper management has in us. We really are doing a world of good.

      Cons

      Fast paced, fast growing have to be on your toes to keep up.

      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are very competitive. The fitness center is a big advantage along with the wellness program, complete with $1,000 in incentives for living a healthy lifestyle. The pace is fast and there are plenty of learning opportunities. The campus and facilities are first rate. The Blue Room theatre is an outstanding place to hold meetings, seminars, etc., and they have a weekend movie program. Vacation policies have become more competitive and worker-friendly in the last few years. The on-campus health facility is convenient and cheap, with a copay of only $5, even if the primary doctor is on a crusade against antibiotics and takes a tough-it-out policy on illnesses. Bi-annual salary and bonus reviews are an outstanding plus. It's the best job I've had and the best place I've worked, and I fell lucky to be here.

      Cons

      The oil and gas industry is cyclical by nature, so you have to be ready for the ups and downs. The ups are stressful because of the frantic pace and pressure, the downs are stressful because of macro-economic worries that the industry will crumble and you will be left jobless, although I don't feel like this will happen to me here. If anything, it's a bit disconcerting that we have done our jobs so well as a company that we've become an attractive buyout candidate, which would not be a good thing for the employees, most of whom would be undoubtedly let go. Like any major company, there is a lot of office politics with which to deal. Many times it matter who one knows or how one can manipulate who one knows. Promotions (concerning titles) have not been handed out very fairly, in my opinion. However, I believe compensation is more closely tied to performance, and salary and bonus reviews come around twice a year.
