Phillips 66 reviews

Everything else... play the game of regurgitated catch phrases when management is in earshot, then trash talk them in private and you’ll probably get promoted. Have integrity and you’ll never get recognized. On the technical side of things, if you have new ideas you might as well forget them. It’s going to be the way it’s always been because of legacy managers that are holding onto the 1980s and have a closed mind. The technicians are supposed to work alone, keep things running by whatever means needed, but have zero technical support. There’s no room for a department in the hierarchy with creative technical minds. If it isn’t pipe fittings and welding they don’t think it matters. In the world we live in now, there are so many wonderful technologies we could enable in our processes but you’ll never see them because of ignorant minds at the top. I heard at one town hall about how they are going to enable “predictive maintenance “ by monitoring machine hours and vibrate monitoring. They talked about it like they just invented it and it’s the best thing ever. It’s last decades technology! But they theoretically patted themselves on the back for discovering a steam engine for crying out loud. It’s frustrating beyond belief. This “Digital transformation” they brag about is just another smoke and mirrors show with clever imagery and graphics. They half heartedly designed some apps for an iPad they sent everyone and after a couple years, none of it works worth a flip. They’ll brag about it but it’s an absolute disaster. Most everyone’s iPads are in a desk drawer. They also tell you there are all kinds of cool opportunities to be involved in but the thing is once those projects get underway you won’t be allowed to be a part of it because they run staffing so thin they just can’t allow you to go anywhere. It’s a morale busting dead end job with ever increasing responsibilities. People spend most of the time looking for other jobs on their cell phones. Once I get an offer I’m out.
