Business outlook
Pros
Excellent, stable company. A strong sense of family in many areas. Giving back to the community is an important part of the culture. The work is challenging and rewarding, though this has slowed somewhat as Valero is no longer growing through acquisitions.
Cons
The company tends to run lean from a personnel standpoint. Too much work, and not enough people to do it. There are some downsides of being in a very mature industry. A very large company, but still run like a small one in many respects.
