      Pros

      Pay and benefits. I can't think of anything else cmon. That's all I can see positive. Done down down done

      Cons

      No leadership. No truth. No accountability for lousy supervision that don't know what they r doing. Shell talks a good talk but doesn't walk the walk. Absolutely no leadership at site. No direction no accountability and lousy do nothing management. Seriously. There is no training for supervisions and they have no clue how to supervise. saw some of the most childish behavior out of employees but management just gave them a pass. site has NO LEADERSHIP. It's whatever the staff want to do. Gotten worse over past few years. Great pay and benefits but what good does that do when u r in a monkey house.

      Pros

      If you're an engineer, you can be CEO one day. Flexible work for some roles. Salary is very good. Benefits are adequate. Multiple locations throughout the globe.

      Cons

      If you're not an engineer you'll be overlooked. Performance reviews are extremely biased towards those that are in the right role at the right time. I saved the site over $3,000,000 last year and that wasn't enough for anything more than an average performance review. Had I been and engineer, I would probably have been promoted and given a huge bonus. GE invented the performance review process Shell uses and recently GE gave up on it because it doesn't work. What does that say? It's not a bad place to work, you just have to want to play the corporate game.
