Pros
-Competitive, but not superior pay and benefits -Offers similar benefits to peer companies (980 schedule, pension, etc.) -Offers fitness centers similar to peer companies -I worked in Downstream. Most of the reviews on Glassdoor are Upstream. I would have liked to work Upstream but my transfers were blocked, even after I had met my time commitments.
Cons
-Experienced hires are used to fill positions vacated by their high potential employees. Do not expect to move up if you did not begin your career with Chevron. -Bullying by managers is encouraged and rewarded. Management is encouraged to motivate by fear rather than reward and recognition. -The Performance Management Process is not followed. Employee rankings are conducted before the Performance Management Form is filled out and discussed with your supervisor. -Blame is encouraged rather than find the root cause of an incident. -Working off-Fridays, weekends, and holidays was the norm more than the exception. This was expected rather than rewarded. -There are safety issues at the refineries that have been overlooked for years. The management is not committed to bring in additional resources to resolve the issues. -I returned to my former employer and immediately saw a HUGE difference between companies. There is no doubt in my mind that this was an unsafe and hostile work environment. I would not work for this company again.
