Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at BP part-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great people to work with, pay is decent, get a lot of training in various areas and adds to your skills i.e, tills, WBC, deliveries, replenishment, 50% off food on breaks and free drinks
Cons
Management is extremely unprofessional, wouldn't know about shifts until days before, getting holiday off was a nightmare and often had to rely on other colleagues to swap shifts with you (fun fact, they never want to especially if it's a weekend)

Pros
Great perks, good salary, good progression opportunities including options offering further education, flexible working, above minimum annual leave entitlement, paternity and maternity

Lengthy interview process, all for the right reasons gender diversity etc. but unpleasant as a candidate, process driven progression, so unfortunately no shortcuts!
Advice to Management
Very good job, good motivational conversations, great feedback for business performance, very good at being approachable and giving time for mentoring and listening.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at BP full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
BP offers great terms and conditions and offers a variety of job types across a range of disciplines. They are a international company so can offer some overseas opportunities but don't bank on it. The work can be interesting and there are always exciting challenges to deal with.
Cons
They are a company who are forever redesigning themselves in terms of organisational construct so there are a lot of reorganisations. They can also still be quite beaurecratic although they have regularly tried to simplify themselves but there is work to be done.
Advice to Management
Get some stability into the organisational structure and stop endless reorganisations.
