Chevron Phillips Chemical Reviews

Pros

9/80, several locations, good safety culture

Cons

Limited career opportunities; Entry level management positions really only available for the favored few who will also often move up quickly, and whose careers are actively managed by mid/upper management. Health plans structured such that high deductible plan is cheapest option, but has fairly high deductibles (9k in network, separate 12k? out of network, and they don't cross apply). Instituted yearly charge for having spouse on medical if they could get it through their employer. Overtime expected for many, and compensation for salaried employees for the extra hours works out to a fraction of their normal hourly-equivalent rate. Depending on the site, tend to run fairly understaffed.

Great benefits, from day one

High turnover in salary supervision.

Assets have doubled since company inception while headcount has declined. Difficult to be proactive with current staffing levels throughout organization.

Pros

growth continues despite ridiculous management system -compensation rate -pension -401k -Bonus available

Cons

there are so many cons but i would like to make this simple. -If your a experienced Operator looking for a company that will provide better benefits, non stressful atmosphere and stand behind its workers look elsewhere! compensation is competitive but nothing else they advertise is true once you make it to the facility. - If you dont have any experience i understand any opportunity in the industry is worth a shot. just get your experience, do thorough research for a more suitable company and leave on your own terms.
