I worked at Imperial Oil full-time for more than 2 years

Imperial Oil2019-02-06"Now retired"
StarStarStarStarStarDoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Imperial Oil full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
The benefits are very good
Cons
Latest senior management don’t seem to care about giving retired employees a periodic pension increase. It has been over 15 years since our last increase, yet they continue to make billions!
Advice to Management
Please review the pensions of retirees employees. We have not had an increase in our pensions for at least 15 years or more. Cost of living keeps increasing and it is more and more stressful to keep up.

StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Imperial Oil
Pros
Great people, amazing salary and benefits and job security was a plus. Nice to be a part of a global organization as opportunities are available for high performers,
Cons
Your career path and enjoyment all depends on your management. Extremely hierarchical and process / policy oriented; not a lot of autonomy.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookI worked at Imperial Oil
Pros
Excellent benefits, company considered employer of choice in the town where I worked
Cons
It's the oil biz. Up today, down tomorrow. Way down today, maybe up tomorrow. Got tired of the swings and moved to a less volatile industry.
Advice to Management
Stay the course, most employees are happy with the status quo. There is not a whole lot of options to buffer against industry swings.

Pros
Free coffee Decent pension Nice artwork in the hallways
Cons
Nobody wants to work here. The latest earnings report shows it’s a sinking ship. Culture change seems to be a failure and winning behaviours aren’t working
Advice to Management
All the smart people are leaving for better companies, you’re left with average people in an average company. Not a top company anymore
