Fantastic opportunity - Lab Technician CRI/Criterion Catalyst Employee Review

Pay is decent but you will be working for it.

Insurance is pretty high and upper management was just about clueless

Small teams; You know everyone you work with. Wholly-owned by Shell Oil, employees receive most of the benefits of working for a Big Oil company such as Pension, the Provident Fund and bonuses (even hourly workforce gets annual bonus). While it is difficult to move into Shell, the opportunities are there if you network. Vacation is great for salary positions; 9/80 schedule gives you every other Friday off if you don't have special tasks to complete or meetings with visitors.

Wholly-owned by Shell Oil, so you get to deal with the bureaucracy of working for Big Oil. Sometimes policies are difficult to implement when there are no other Shell locations around to offer support.
