      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of talented, well educated co-workers. Get lots of responsibility and training here. Most people work in offices which have doors, about 30% in cubes. Centralized downtown location, company also pays for metro park and ride bus passes, good 401k matching, great medical insurance, and fitness club subsidy at nearby downtown ymca. Salary levels are targeted to be in 60% of big energy company ranges with another 5% to 10% added at end of year as potential bonus. Some middle level jobs have international travel opportunities.

      Cons

      Business environment is working against the European side of the chemicals business for the next 5 years and likely further cost cutting there will probably be felt in the US. Expecting to see cost reductions on US side in the next 12 months which will affect the average employee in areas of bonus, training, travel, salary, and staffing levels. The recent reorganization moved many people into jobs they did not prefer to have and has resulted in turnover with positions not being replaced. Some areas in US are understaffed resulting in occasional or even frequent heavy workload. Excessive amount of power points, justifications, and long term planning. Decision making is slow, even more so because of foreign management culture.

      Pros

      The people make this company worthwhile.

      Cons

      In the process of reorganization, it has become clear that this particular branch of the company has lost its "meaning". Management is not clear with its direction; and recent job placement, according to skill set, is just one of the shining indicators.

      Pros

      TotalEnergies is a great place to work and the pay is good. The company invest in employees, there are many opportunities for training including leadership and coaching for managers. Work is challenging and complex which keeps you interested and never bored. Every day is different and you always learn something new. The company is making more efforts to provide opportunity to move around within the different affiliate companies. The tools available for internal job search are very helpful. Your soft skills as well as technical skills are taken into consideration providing more opportunities to move around the company. TotalEnergies has a multi-cultural environment with management stressing respect for all employees. When the Oil and Gas industry was struggling and laying off, Total did not lay off people. Overall this is definitely one of the better companies I have worked for in my 24 year career.

      Cons

      A lot of the upper management positions will be filled by Expats from Europe which only stay 2 to 3 years. While there may not be layoffs there are areas that have been outsourced to save money. Typically the outsourcing of groups does include layoffs or loss of jobs. In the US Total runs lean and continues to reduce budget every year. In the US one person does the work of 5 individuals, while in France this does not tend to be the same. A lot of positions are filled with contractors to reduce cost.
