Pros

Great benefits, great people. Management seems to genuinely care for employees, but are bound by corporate policies on what they can say or do for employees in terms of compensation and benefits, as well as communicating change to the organization. Great operations management and people that are concerned with safety and people.

Cons

Corporate policies are designed for large operations, which didn't fit well with the size of the New Mexico asset. Did not have flexibility to use systems outside of what was designed by Corporate IS. Hire the "best of the best" to do jobs that may have little challenge, which leaves little to no room for advancement upward in the local organization as everyone has an impressive skill set, and not a lot of opportunity to show off that skill set except in special projects for which there is little reward.

Pros

Great benefits and unfortunately that's it.

Cons

The entire management for the most part in the HR department in the Houston corporate office is an absolute joke. There are a few still employed there who have made their way up the corporate ladder by simply lying and throwing others under the bus continuously. It is an absolute joke that no one cares enough to see what actually occurs in this department even when complaints are continuously raised. Employees are led to believe that claims of harassment, bullying and various ethics violations will be investigated. They aren't and the company always sides with management. You will work tirelessly all day every day even on your days off only to have your managers claim your work and success as your own. Many times you will be told that promotions are in the near future but why would you ever move up if your supervisors can keep you down because you continually make them look good? Myself and several colleagues on the same level gave everything to BHP Billiton for years only to have them toss us to the curb when we no longer fit in their plans and the oil prices continued to slide. It makes sense when you're trying to cut the bottom line and keep certain mid level managers who have never done a thing for the company and are absolutely over paid!
