Pros

High pay. You will learn to navigate & be tough in stressful environments. Free food at least 2x/week. That’s really it.

Cons

Geez so many... Every month, someone quits. Wonder why... The company claims they love diversity but hires everyone from the same city, same school. Pretty much everyone has lived near the site for their whole lives. How will you ever be innovative???? All your employees are too closed minded to every leave the country or even state. Horrible and long work hours, even weekends sometimes but they act like they care about preventing fatigue. You’ll never see management there on weekends though. Mainly white males with egos through the ROOF. I’m a white male and even I hated this. I’d never grow there. Everyone makes fun of each other plus talks behind each other’s backs, and smiles in faces, even management. Everyone tries to push work on someone else. This place was full of lazy stuck up people, just going through the motions. You’re only liked by managers if you kiss up. Oh and don’t ever be quiet. Quiet people will never ever ever make it. The systems are extremely slow. They keep cutting the budget & just laid off all of hr??? Takes way to long to move around. Plus so much more. Spare yourself and don’t work here. It’s probably the whole refining industry.

Pros

Opportunity to work with really great and smart people Very international. Worked on 3 different continents Gained some really good working experience

Cons

Internal rating system is very bias I quit Shell because of a terrible experience with a direct manager Shell is not always loyal to their own values (like respecting work-life balance, Treating employees with respect, keeping promises)
