Houston, TX

Current Employee – been working at Chevron full-time for more than 7 years

ProsExcellent compensation
Culture of Safety Awareness
Work / Life Balance
Guaranteed Yearly Raises
Constantly Changing Work Environment
Ample Leadership Opportunities w/ Employee Networks

ConsIf you work for a service division, your ability to grow your career is limited.
Moving out of a service division can be difficult.
Workforce optimization often promotes people into management/supervisory positions who aren't aware of the talents of the team, and if layoffs are involved this often leads to valuable team members getting laid off.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe very careful about evaluating talent. Talk to members of a team to see what team members are truly valuable and which team members are just taking up space.
