Pros
Good career development. Decent pay and benefit.
Cons
Two headed bird with strong Hutchinson Whampoa influence. Weak leadership and poor management. Siloed work environment. A lot of old guys waiting for retirement.
Advice to Management
The management know what the problem is but lack of drive and solutions to resolve the problem.

"Growing Company that is more concerned about the bottom line than its employees"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Husky Energy full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Very good wages and benefits. Diverse company, overall growth of the company seems to be on an upward trend. Husky has no issue putting money into its refineries which equals longevity for the Lima refinery.
Cons
New strategies in utlizing operators in several areas throughout the plant leave the new operators unprepared for outages and the ability to feel comfortable in their job. They are solely focused on the bottom line.
Advice to Management
Concentrate on taking advantage of the ideas of your long time employees since there will be about a 30% leaving in the next 5 to 7 years.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Husky Energy full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
They are always looking to expand their products and services in the field of petroleum dispensing products. Development of new products is also key.
Cons
I believe there are to many positions that are filled by temporary employees and that these people are sometimes turned over needlessly.
Advice to Management
Select a member or two from each department on the floor to train to be "lean ninjas", and have those people teach lean manufacturing to hires.

"Husky Production Worker but wished I was with another company"

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Husky Energy full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Good pay with lots of overtime. Opportunity to obtain experience in oil/gas industry good. Training met expectations and needs of company.
Cons
HIGHLY political. Company plays favorites. Company cannot get rid of poor workers. Company will not get rid of poor management. Do as I say attitude. Company does not value families or personnel time off and has stated "We pay you well enough for this". They participate in mass punishment when an employee does something wrong. Different areas in plant are treated differently with some unfairly. EXTREMLY poor supervisors whom have been in this work enviroment a long time and have not learned. If you want experience in this industry go somewhere else.
Advice to Management
I stay out of the politics but when so many employees complain about management, take it more serious. The moral is bad and could be great.
