Geologists Not Wanted - Anonymous employee California Resources Employee Review

Pros

Since the break from Occidental Petroleum, CRC is making some effort to show greater attention to employee input across the board, with respect to process improvement.

Cons

CRC South requires each geologist to fill both production and development roles. Each RMT is geologically understaffed and overworked. Female geologists are notoriously underpaid compared to their male equivalents, and new geologists are often paid more than their seniors. Turnover in the geology department has been high for several years as a result. Management's response to the high turnover is to hire fewer geologists to fill the increasing work load.

Pros

Compensation is above average and fuels the Kern County economy

Cons

Employees are not valued and are dispensable as oil prices inevitably fall, they have a "do more with much less/barely enough and push people to their mental break" culture.
