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.

Good place to start. Don't stay as an engineer

Senior process engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good. Probably an OK place to start an engineering career

Cons

Not really a strong engineering company. If not promoted to management, most engineers leave within 5 years. The central engineering group doesn't have any pilot plants, labs, or rooms full of test equipment. And they have been cutting benefits for the last 10 years.
