      Pros

      Good Brand but no one care about the brand until and unless your job is secured. Can only make employees happy with good salary packages Big Cafeteria but food is not good.

      Cons

      Rude Management Very Project Centric...Once Project gets over then you will be fired easily In India Shell India Markets Pvt. Ltd. is the worst place to work for.. In India they are treating humans as dogs. Very tight project deadlines Company doesn't have a proper future these days. It can fire anyone if you are vintage employee or whatever you are...Company has got a very bad firing policy. Trust me if you want to play with your career then only join Shell.

      Pros

      Safe work environment considering the nature of the business. Union backed. Tremendous opportunities for advancement. Plenty of overtime if you like to do it. Union pay scale and medical are excellent! Great paying job even for those without degrees. Shell's Goal Zero mentality is excellent. 100% vested retirement plans.

      Cons

      Black out dates for turn-arounds. If you don't like some overtime then this may be a challenge. For Operations, shift work can be tough. No Pay for required Basic Fire Crew!

      Pros

      Can engage in conversation with friendly customers. Free food (after they've been taken off the heat rack)

      Cons

      Basic pay. ALWAYS on your feet. Worst breaks ever. Once I did a night shift (I'll explain the cons of that next) 10pm to 6am and asked to carry on working. We had the busiest ever morning and I finally left at around 1pm. I had to ask for a 10 minute break baring in mind I had NO BREAK during my night shift. I thought it would be fair on myself to extend that by 5 minutes and got told off. I repeat, I HAD NO BREAK DURING MY NIGHT SHIFT AND HAD TO ASK FOR A MINI BREAK AFTER THE BUSY PERIOD. DON'T do a night shift. The amount of tasks there are to do is crazy AND potentially you could never get a break. In between your tasks you have to also serve (drunk) customers through a window. One shift it took me 3 hours to NOT watch an episode of South Park.
