Pros

Positive culture, competitive pay, work-life balance, good benefits, lots of long-tenured employees, a great place for a 9-5, but not necessarily to grow

Cons

Company is a little stale, work tends to be very tactical, not a lot of room for creative/strategic thinking, the US/Venezuela political relationship is an ever looming risk, favoritism and a preference for Venezuelans tends to guide career growth, questionable corporate future as oil and gas demand declines with no signs that management plans to diversify, great people get laid off while Venezuelans with no discernable function continue to stay employed.

Pros

The pay and health insurance benefits are pretty great.

Cons

12 hour shifts on a swing schedule. Company likes to blame hourly workers for every issue when company doesn't want to put money into their facility. Most managers aren't competent, the more idiotic a person, the more likely they are to become a manager. Good managers exist but tend to move up quickly (they deserve to) and they're replaced by the idiotic "yes" men. Overtime is abundant so expect not to get your days off.
