Business Outlook

Pros

Working in operations at LyondellBasell provides great income and great benefits. When you do have time off, you really enjoy the time you spend with friends and family.

Cons

While safety is preached, the real focus is on reportable / recordable safety issues. Long term health and safety are not a primary concern. Work / Life balance can be difficult as you will either volunteer for overtime or be drafted to it if your crew needs man-power.
