      Pros

      On a professional level there are lots of technically strong people to learn from--a very collaborative work environment for the most part. Very action oriented and data driven.

      Cons

      The company has been pushing it's STAR objectives, which they seem to have difficulty implementing successfully. Why? The most difficulty seems to be in "being decisive". At times we are paralyzed by the fear of making a poor decision. I have found this to be true more in QA than on the Operations side.

      Great place to learn about the industry

      Pros

      The internship program at the Baytown site is well-organized and geared towards educating the students. Supervisors will introduce interns to varied aspects of a chemical process through small projects covering basic unit ops - as is expected - and offer the expertise of senior engineers when the assignments turn hard. Activities, like dinners out and Astros games, are a nice reprieve from the drab Baytown surroundings as well as a chance to meet interns working in other units. The city of Baytown is a typical run-down oil town, and while there isn't much to do except suffer in the summer heat, it is inexpensive.

      Cons

      It's hard to stay busy at work for a number of reasons: managers are afraid of giving too much responsibility or assignments that may not have been covered in school, they're hesitant to bring 3-month hires up to speed on ongoing projects, and they don't want to thrust us in existing groups for fear that, if we don't work out, they'll be responsible. I haven't interned in other facilities, so it's unknown whether the Baytown plant is unique in this regard. At the end of summer, there's a mandatory presentation summarizing our contributions to the company. These two downsides do not go well together.

      Pros

      It is a stable job.

      Cons

      Treated as just a number, recognition for job well done few and far between, promotions are a joke.
