Pros

The 9/80 work schedule, health benefits/healthy living incentives, 401K match and pension you won't find many other places anymore, laid back work environment overall although not in every department. The people are overall friendly. People are active in their community and volunteering. Some consider it a 'CITGO family'.

Cons

The lack of upward mobility for even 'high' achieving employeess is really discouraging causing good employees to eventually leave in order to advance their career. Negotiate what you want salary wise when you come on board because you will be stuck in the same pay band for a long time regardless of performance. Not the company to come work for if you are looking for high compensation.

Pros

The pay and health insurance benefits are pretty great.

Cons

12 hour shifts on a swing schedule. Company likes to blame hourly workers for every issue when company doesn't want to put money into their facility. Most managers aren't competent, the more idiotic a person, the more likely they are to become a manager. Good managers exist but tend to move up quickly (they deserve to) and they're replaced by the idiotic "yes" men. Overtime is abundant so expect not to get your days off.
