RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Marathon Oil full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great work/life balance! 9/80's and will allow you to move those days around within the month, which is really great and I dont think any O&G company does that in Houston or anywhere else. Or you can choose half-day Fridays
Cons
I think the pay could be better, just seems like it's below market.
Advice to Management
I think the new management is headed in the right direction with the entry into the Permian, development our Bakken, divesting non-core assets and adding bolt-on acreage as needed.

Pros
Good salary and benefits. Good opportunities for training.
Cons
It's very sad to see what has happened to this company. It's floundering and adrift. There is no value given for experience and performance...unless you're family or willing to stab your co-workers in the back.
Advice to Management
Lee, this is not a little XOM. You've destroyed this company.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Marathon Oil full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
9/80 is best ever. Benefits are good, especially retirement with match and cash balance pension.
Cons
Backstabbing, favoritism, competition rather than collaboration, disregard for safety and compliance with regulations that management decides are not worth following. In my new job, I do not miss the toxic environment, and I do not worry about the things I am expected to do. I learned a lot and owe a lot to Marathon but am fortunate to have moved on now that the industry is picking up again.
Advice to Management
Take a hard look at the environment within Marathon.

Pros
Salary better than other company for position (not competitors though)
9/80 Flex scheduleCons
Does not honor or follow its "values"
Forces competition with peers in order to keep job, therefore ruining "collaboration" effort
Performance ratings based on competition among others with similar job titles, often times across multiple departments
Representing managers of your review are done by managers who don't know what you do or who you are
Multiple layoffs combined with peer competition created fear of job loss
Layoffs left remaining employees
doing work of multiple employees with no extra pay or bonus
Merits based on favoritism not performanceAdvice to Management
Value your employees
