Pros

Good pay and good benefits

Cons

Company/management does not recognize individuals for their work or contributions. everyone is just a number. no one cares if you actually work hard, as long as you create a good paper trail. People spend all morning planning their lunch, and then take 2 hour lunches, since there is no clocking in or out, then do minimal work in the afternoon then an hour before quieting time, they start to fill out on the computer, all the stuff they got done, which they really didn't do. I've never seen so much abuse and fraud. The company says they care about the individual, but they really don't. Everybody, Department managers and employee, are all in on the fraud, so as long as you are willing to be sheep, and fall in line with others, you will be fine, otherwise they will find a way to get you out of there, period, end of story.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
