Pros

Relatively generous retirement plan and benefits

Cons

New management can be short-sighted and squeezing too much out of for too little. However, staff culture did need to be shaken up and dead wood eliminated. Perhaps they will find a happy medium in the future

Pros

I can only speak for the hourly side of this company. (Refining & Chemicals) Pay is well enough to live comfortably. Can participate in human resource activities such as the "wing bowl" and ice cream day, but only if you're on the applicable shift of day work. They used to provide turkeys and hams during thanksgiving for employees, but they had taken that away to cut costs. Can learn valuable skills and training, but best to learn what you can and use this place as a stepping stone to a real career.

Cons

Do not expect to grow or move around this company. The majority of people who work here are generally nice people and mean well, but will throw you under the bus to save their own skin at any cost. Safety is at the bottom of the list for this company's values. They may preach they are safe and care about safety, but don't be fooled. More tenured employees with 7-10 years of employment can get away with just about anything, so the real work and production falls onto the new underpaid employees. Management hires supervisors and managers who lack any sort of relevant experience needed to perform or troubleshoot in relative environments. Also to note, the union is a joke. Upper management has pulls and ties with the ability to divide the union and get anything they want from union committee. Management will take everything away they possibly can while the union sits back and watches. Anyone who speaks up will generally be ousted and left on the street looking for another job. This is not a real union shop and you have no job security whatsoever.
