The amount of money you make is amazing! Rotating schedule give you plenty of time off! Typically you will receive a $10,000 bonus a year.

Cons

No life outside of work. The management is terrible and run so short staffed, you’re constantly working overtime. The managers do not listen to hourly employees.

Lots of employee growth opportunities but doesn't value employees

Process engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of career growth opportunities, especially for younger engineers. Good centralized training at corporate. High exposure potential to upper management/corporate.

Cons

Not open to relocation to other refineries, high expectation on time at work (50hrs/week as a regular), no overtime on turnarounds (many oil companies offer this), no 9/80s, no flexibility in work schedule. Only hires engineers straight from college, and with the amount of experienced engineers either moving into other roles or leaving the company this is creating a very very young engineering group. This makes it hard to learn as a new engineer and hurts the reputation of the engineering group in the eyes of the rest of the refinery.
