Pros

It's just a job, that's it. I have job security right now.

Cons

People in glass door that says Chevron is a great place to work, I can guarantee they're salary. If you're hourly here, you're just an expendable peon to management. They promised large raises ans bonuses when I started because I took a large pay cut. That was a lie. Their bonuses aren't great and this year we got a 0.9% raise. Are you kidding me. That's not even cost of of living yet they profited billions. Mechanics are the lowest paid trade here. Not only that, theyre the lowest paying company ive seen in West Texas. No per diem, no travel pay. As low as they pay, they should pay a travel stipend. I've never worked for an oilfield company where the highly skilled mechanics are treated like trash. Management rarely will back you mainly because they have no idea what's going in the field so they have no leg to stand on so they're just yes men to operations.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
