Pros

Good paying job, good benefits, alot of other perks.

Cons

They have no respect for older people, and I am not old so I am not writing this about me, however they get rid of you if you know too much. They want young ignorant workers who barely can run the units and then upper management micromanages the heck out of you. People get hurt out there unnecessarily due to a fear based safety program that does not prepare you properly. If you do too much they view you as a rule breaker. The benefits are OK but they do not offer a bonus. Yes they offer a pension but they place alot of rules around it and it will be lowered by the time you qualify to draw. They push a safety program that focuses on fear and what is the worst that can happen to you to push focus. Instead they could help you learn what causes lack of focus and how to prevent it and why it happens along with sharings. They hide alarms because the operators are afraid to alarm due to management documentation of them not being on top of operations and the community reporting releases. Very disfunctional group who will get more people hurt because of there programs and policies that are too numerous and too accusatory to let people get better at there jobs.

Pros

The pros diminished as soon as ExxonMobil took over XTO Energy. Only pros are certain co-workers who helps make the day go by fast.

Cons

There’s no advancement opportunities and you will be blocked from moving up or transferring to another department. They micromanaged the heck out of you. You are pigeoned hole to one position and they determine your destiny on where they move you. They will also blacklist you if you quit or not their favorites. They will destroy your future employments as well with other companies. ExxonMobil destroyed the family culture by taking away Thursday’s traditional free lunch, employee annual six flags events and Christmas party. They will replace you with newer young grads if you are older and complain about anything. HR is never your friend and doesn’t have your best interest. You can tell a lot on how they are taking 1,600 jobs from Fort Worth and leaving those that don’t go or asked to go with no severance package. This speaks volume about them and how they don’t value employees. You are just a number waiting to be replaced any second.

Pros

With the 7% 401K match, almost every employee starts with $90,000 total compensation. Generally only working 35-40 hours a week with only about 25-30 hours of actual work discounting lunch, breaks, and slow time. You're able to work from home around 2 days a week, so you get 2 3-day weekends a month. Colleagues are all intelligent and accomplished. Great retirement benefits. Great healthcare package for medical, dental, and vision. (valued at nearly $7,000 annually). Paternity leave is for both mothers and fathers. The Houston HQ looks incredible with great restaurant choice.

Cons
