Pros

Flexible hours. Get to know people from the community that you work in. Tends to be a very low stress job even from a management position. Very easy to get time off as needed. Pay is higher than average to start.

Cons

Not much room from personal growth. Overly lax on policy which is not standardized. Success and sales growth not translated to anyone under the manager.

Pros

The total benefits package is nice- pension, 401k giving vs. matching, partnerships with leading healthcare providers. The caliber of most people is top-notch, and safety is not a catch phrase- it is truly ingrained in every aspect of work.

Cons

Decisions are made very slowly due to the consensus building required. The result is lots of time planning, and less time executing. Shell takes a very elitist approach to Talent Management, and can be very opaque about decisions made.

Progressive Leaders and Supportive Environment for Development

Pros

Supports personal and skills development on the job. My team, peers, seniors, manager, and leaders are highly competent, encouraging and supportive

Cons

Global roles require almost daily evening to late night meetings and calls. Constant re-organization and executive leadership change disrupts continuity of corporate programmes Unproductive and underperforming staff (although stagnant) tend to get away with landing redundant roles and deliver no value to the organization
