Business Outlook

Pros

Valero offers a stable career with a lot of benefits beyond the standard salary and health benefits. The company is situated on a beautiful campus that includes gym, basketball court, tennis courts, full-service medical clinic for employees and family, cafeteria, subsidized daycare facility, etc.

Cons

Due to the desirability of the amenities and brand recognition, the company has historically been able to hire at relatively lower salaries. Career growth and any significant growth in compensation is somewhat of a crapshoot. Employees are typically looking for a place to retire not seek professional development. Status quo is acceptable. It's not a great place to work if you are seeking professional development.
