Borger, TX

Former Employee – worked at ConocoPhillips full-time for more than 8 years

ProsGood Pay, time off and sometimes profit sharing. Pay raises most years, benefits are established for local areas.

ConsInteligence is a detriment to advancement as Managers feel threatened. Not open to new ideas or improvements. Leave your brain at the gate, they only want a robot body.

Advice to Senior ManagementLook at the way you treat employees and the nepotism that exists in many of the refineries. Over worked and over extended employees make mistakes. Stop punishing employees that have ethics and morals and stop rewarding employees that cover up incidents and doctor reports.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Bartlesville, OK

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

ProsThis company values work/life balance, has decent salaries and benefits, and is general not a bad place to work, especially if you are early in your career. If you pursue them and have great support from you manager and other people through networking, there are many doors available for advancement. This could mean leaving your current role and getting out of your comfort zone; but they are willing to train you if you show the aptitude and desire.

ConsIt seems some of the processes and procedures are dated, as if they are behind in the technology world we are in now. However, they are taking steps to improve this. Also, as probably in most locations, there is the good old boy mentality in some of the older leaders, as they continue to advance people based on other qualities not related to job performance.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to make some of the changes to match today's environment in this technological age. Please monitor how some of the old regimen is handling the respective departments.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
