Pros

Vision for becoming mist technologically advanced energy company is great.

Cons

Oxy will not pay to keep the people who have the skill set to accomplish this goal nor will Oxy pay enough to attract the skill set needed to get to this position. Legacy Anadarko managers where put in senior management positions in the new ORCM reorganization.

Pros

Good pay and good bonuses. Nothing else worth mentioning of any positive value.

Cons

At Carlsbad, NM operations 98% of professionally credentialed management and supervision have quit or been fired. The remaining management and supervision hold at best a high school diploma, and half of these people are functional alcoholics. Exceptionally poor design and execution of facilities with multiple facilities burned to the ground each quarter. Additionally, there is zero training and zero development for employees. If you're expecting quality employment with professionals this isn't the company, look elsewhere. Generally speaking OXY management, supervision, and employees hold exceptional poor ethics and morals with non-stop lying from employees, refusal to participate, and supervision lacking base knowledge. Since they've hired 99% uneducated and unskilled individuals the company culture has taken a nose dive for the worse, with expectation of several hundred additional employees quitting. Each year about half the operations group employees quit, it's literally a revolving door.
