Chevron Phillips Chemical Reviews

Pros

The people with whom I work are supportive and genuinely want me to succeed. I have ample opportunities to grow my career and learn. Recession proof, great benefits, and good people.

Cons

We run SUPER lean. Which means many of us often feel over worked. Management is metrics oriented to a point that they can loose sight of the big picture which feels frustrating.

Pros

Chevron Phillips offers a good work-life balance.

Cons

For all of the diversity initiatives that the company claims to have, the upper-management at Chevron-Phillips does not value diversity of THOUGHT whatsoever. Value is placed on “visible diversity” only. Upper-management bullies mid-level management and below on a routine basis—overtly and covertly. If you push back on anything, you will be placed in time-out and will most definitely experience a career stall. Employees are often left wondering what they did wrong in pushing back/speaking up, because the company spews “trust” initiatives. I believe that employees start to feel safe in speaking up, only to then realize it’s all lip-service. I have seen it happen so many times and it has created a completely toxic culture . Upper-management all believe that they are the smartest people in the room and, therefore, you better go-with-the-flow or face consequences. Promotions are based on politics, not on competency nor results. Furthermore, in most areas, there is no value placed on anyone who does not hold a chemical engineering degree, which creates a culture of absolutes and unilateral thinking. It’s not a good long-term strategy for a business.

Pros

(1) The environment is a good place to be. (2)The people are nice and the work is not too hard. (3) IT operates like a small company (4) Management doesn't micro manage.

Cons

(1) They contract out so you don't directly work for the company (2) They do not want to pay for all the work that you are actually doing. (3) Definitely over worked (4) Possibilities for career growth if you plan on being with the company for 10 + years.

Pros

Great morale. Cares about diversity and inclusion.

Cons

There are a few political barriers to navigate if seeking advance.

Pros

Great company for an operator. Pay is good, benefits are good. I've made a good life for my family by working here. People will gripe anywhere you go, but I enjoy my position here. Since the company implemented ICARE, the entire culture has improved. Every culture is welcomed and included.

Cons

I'd like to see some sort of reward system for good attendance.

Pros

Work with all business units

Cons

Hard to move up company lean.

Pros

Used to have good benefits

Cons

Stress, pressure timelines and low pay

Pros

Ok pay, solid benefits, 401k, pension, and great people Relatively young company (22yrs) but a lot of potential Profit to headcount is very good as this is a lean company No layoffs Fast growing company

Cons

Compensation - have to figure out a way to pay you high performers. You cant pay everyone the same across the board. Some are better than others, some have advanced degrees, some are more knowledgable. PAY THEM you will get ROI! Initiative overload! DE&I and ICare come off as window treatment instead of an actual culture the company lives by. People can tell what is genuine and what is not. Many are burned out (Lean structure). Inexperienced management. This idea that you dont have to know the job to manage the people in the group is absolutely ridiculous. Lack of training for technical roles.

Pros

Pay was great. Coworkers were awesome Good benefits package Unit was very up to date

Cons

Supervisors and other higher ups in that unit were the root cause for many of the issues. You were just a number to the company and they made sure you knew that.

Pros

Good money, great culture, but a bit conservative when it comes to WFH

Cons

Long hours, remote locations, low vacation.
