ExxonMobil Review

Pros

Excellent total compensation and benefits, especially when you consider pension, 401K, disability and life insurance, vacation, personal time, and tuition reimbursement. Challenging technical work. A very conservative and safe company. Many career opportunities.

Cons

The ranking system unjustly limits annual salary increases and opportunities for older and more experienced workers. They are more deserving. Also, most people rotate in and out of assignments about every three years, and this creates a lot of uncertainty and a lack of accountability.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Nice gifts given for achievement milestones made, at least at the plant I'm working at. People in general are nice.

Cons

Management moved around too much. Part of the process to cross train and promote people, however, causes a lot of projects and basic supervisory and management items fall short. The company is so big they have everything globalized and not enough things taken care of within local region/area. Too many chains to go through for approvals to accomplish anything. Pay roll system is a nightmare. Checks are confusing to understand due to strange payment methods. Preventative maintenance is non-existent. Company does not put enough towards updating equipment and facilities, they have a run to failure outlook so equipment used until it breaks and a lot of things are ancient, 20, 30 years old. I'm just not impressed with the way things are ran where I'm located. Everyone is just another number in this large corporation. Also, 12 hour rotating shifts are awful on a person's health. Understaffed and work a lot of overtime and never get holidays off being a newer employee.
