Pros

Safe work environment considering the nature of the business. Union backed. Tremendous opportunities for advancement. Plenty of overtime if you like to do it. Union pay scale and medical are excellent! Great paying job even for those without degrees. Shell's Goal Zero mentality is excellent. 100% vested retirement plans.

Cons

Black out dates for turn-arounds. If you don't like some overtime then this may be a challenge. For Operations, shift work can be tough. No Pay for required Basic Fire Crew!
