CITGO Refining and Chemicals – “Great Co. Needing Better Leaders”

Pros

I was impressed with the pay considering it was very close (under by a little) to another competitor. The benefits were on par with every other company and retirement package was good. I think it was about 8%. Most of the staff here were very professional, friendly, helpful at all times.

Cons

The small percentage of staff were very unprofessional, unhelpful, and at times would dissapear before meetings. Project leaders could not keep up with staff most of the time. Company was not prepared for the interns which led to projects starting late and coming to fruition as expected. Overall, I did NOT learn anything.

Advice to Senior Management

Management should be available, professional, prepared, and give assistance when needed. Even though other projects are the focus of the company, give attention to all responsibilities or find somebody to help you lead.
