Can't believe I took the offer

Houston, TX

Current Employee – been working at BHP Billiton full-time for less than a year

ProsGreat Benefits
Great Salary if you are looking for a promotion of epic proportion
9/80 work schedule
$2/day lunch in the main building cafeteria

ConsYou work on stuff, but cannot take the work with you if you leave (no flash drives or emailing stuff to yourself)
Big Brother is watching everything
Like working for the government
AMEX Corporate Card will be denied if you have so-so or crappy credit; you will have to get your supervisor to pick up your expenses (very ridiculous)
New floor model is cubicles for everyone, only managers are in offices
Most employees belong to cliques' just like High School (corporate office)
Procedures to accomplish work on a daily basis are very vague, complex, confusing and not very consistent.
Idiots for managers at times, just depends on your business division and area

Advice to Senior ManagementEase up on the strict policies, stop running the company like summer camp or reform school. Push for more advertising so that people don't confuse the company with BP.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
