      I worked at BP part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      I met a lot of friends at my time working for BP. The hours are reasonable and for the job the pay is good. Flexible working times could be established with managers in good notice and by liaising with other workers.

      Cons

      None, I enjoyed my time working with BP.

      Positive Outlook

      I have been working at BP full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Competitive pay at the start of the career. Amazing culture! People are super friendly. For sure there are some arrogant ones but nothing compared to what one would find in banks! Work life balance like no other.

      Cons

      Talking about progression and benefits are very discouraged. Good people will seek for better benefits. Seems like they have no budgets for this. Hence people will move.

      Advice to Management

      Rather keep well performing employees by giving the fair benefits rather than having them leaving and expensive contractors to replace them.

      I have been working at BP full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      New facilities, opportunities to work abroad. Safe place to work. Good people to work with. Bupa.

      Cons

      Long offshore shifts, pay is lagging behind competitors. Pension scheme is poor for this industry.

      Pros

      Great bunch of people to work with Great benefits (including 5 quid for lunch each day!) Good work life balance Interesting work Ability to affect change Recognised for good work Supported at tough times

      Cons

      Worry about future at the company as work seems to be shipped offshore. Stagnant career / not much room at the top and regular re-organisations.

      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at BP full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      - Easy enough - The bakery has some nice food

      Cons

      Management has a culture of bullying which filters down to the staff. At the BP garage I worked at, everybody was constantly stressed or gossiping about one another.

      Advice to Management

      Be more understanding with the needs of others.

      I have been working at BP full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      Increasingly strives to embody to its stated core values and behaviours: Safety, Excellence, Courage, Respect, and One Team

      Cons

      Amorphous and constantly changing ...good in a sense, but confusing and unclear in others.

      Advice to Management

      Could do with training staff in behaviours that lead to success in navigating amorphous and constantly changing internal business relationships and clients, rather than it just the people with the inherent skillset to naturally do so, to rise to success.
