Pros

Great benefits and inexpensive. Very effective support from our benefits office. Good training from the training manager in Calgary! We are also allowed to travel on any airline we want and stay in any hotel regardless of cost or brand . Good for my frequent flyer programs. At my old company, they mandated certain travel rules that saved millions per year but here, they just let us do what ever we need including expensive meals. Excessive but very nice treatment of travelers.

Cons

Average pay, many hours and some weekends are common, and horrendous safety practices and culture. I don't feel safe sending our representatives to sites to see if someone broke in. I told them that this is a police function but was ignored.

Pros

The pay and benefits are definitely competitive (amongst Southern Louisiana plants), and compared to other places in the country we definitely do better than most. At present, I have little to no problem with most people over me. And being in operations, most of us end up liking most others in operations. Also at present, because it hasn't always been this way, there's an ex-operator at the head of our department, instead of their normal choice: an engineer (who doesn't understand operations or shift work first hand). I'm a fairly easy to get along with person and don't actively look for the worst in people; so, factoring that in, most people that work there are likable and easy to get along with. The stuff we make, also, could definitely be worse in terms of majorly worrying about accidents, though there are a couple vessels under tremendous pressure and others events that could take place that wouldn't be good.

Cons

They take and whittle away things on a consistent basis. I'll have 9 years of accrued pension at the end of the year, but as of 2020 there'll be no more pension. So, that's gone. We used to have, as shift workers, what we referred to as 'floating holidays' since operations didn't get to have those days off; we could choose when to take those 'holidays.' This was definitely a big deal to me and several others. (They do now pay us for two of those three days, but as implied, they saved a wee-bit by cutting the pay for the third one, so they cut it. (And they also saved a little by moving it to pay and not leaving it as floating time off). There are several other places - small to moderate perks - that they're slowly killing off. I suppose this is usual for the times, but that doesn't make it any better when it happens.
