Wonderful work environment and great people to work with. You will make life long networking connections. This company genuinely cares for its people. They really walk the walk. Not just talk the talk.

Working here helps with getting experience super easily, they hire a lot because they're short staffed, and it's a fantastic entry level job for anyone looking to get into customer service

No breaks, as with any customer service job there is a lot of bad apples in terms of customers, busy days are much busier than you'd imagine

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Shell full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
High salary. Theoretically, every other Friday off.
Cons
Leaders with no technical understanding. Expansion of management layers while actual technical work is completed by an ever-shrinking pool of technical competence. HR mentality is creeping into US management culture: everyone is interchangeable--very few in the management chain truly understand the value of, or the critical need for, the remaining experts. I estimate a third of my co-workers don't understand their job or are lacking basic skills. I try to coach up a few at a time, but others I just allow to do busy-work. While it may not add any value, at least it doesn't destroy value.
Advice to Management
Do you know why I do my job the right way? Professional pride.
I am a little past mid-career and in your pension plan, but I don't think I can finish out my career at Royal Dutch Shell. Hold on tight if oil finds a $60 floor--I'll be out the door...and probably not alone.Shell 2017-06-01 20:56 PDT -
