Pros

They have WiFi... other than that, there isn’t much positives...

Cons

- Findlay (I’m not sure I need to explain this one). Having a HQ in Findlay OH is a waste of time and drains value that could be going to shareholders. Thousands (yes thousands) of people renting cars to drive 1.5 hours to and from the airport weekly, then fly is to locations to perform business. This is a huge waste of productivity and money. - Micromanagement hardly describes this culture. Good ideas and independent thought are discouraged. Don’t even attempt to process improve. Only the top wigs make decisions while everyone else waits to be told what to do. This BREEDS inefficiency and mediocre performance. - People are not selected based on their ability but rather how you look, who you know and sometimes who your family is. - Nepotism is not only allowed but enforced by leadership. - This is not a pay for performance company. Regardless of your performance, you can expect no more than a 4% increase even with a promotion. - Rather than operate with integrity, MPC would prefer employees contribute to their super PAC and lobby governments to change their laws. They’d rather buy politicians than do the responsible thing. - They talk about diversity like it’s a new idea... MPC is dead last when compared to peers when it comes to a diverse workforce. They talk about hiring diverse people like it’s a chore and I’m no lawyer but some of the things I’ve heard sound illegal and discriminatory. If diversity were important, wouldn’t Gary say something?

Pros

Great pay, good benefits, union job, strong job security, you work 14 out of every 28 days, so half the year.

Cons

Schedule can be demanding, it’s a modified DuPont, so, rotating 12 hour shifts. Lots of time off, but, when OT ramps up, you might be living at work for a few weeks. Oil refineries are dangerous places to be. Everything you work with can kill you if you’re not being careful, and the company absolutely prioritizes profits and throughput. They want YOU to be safe, but they aren’t afraid to cut a corner or turn a blind eye if it means the refinery doesn’t have to shut down.
