I can only speak for the hourly side of this company. (Refining & Chemicals) Pay is well enough to live comfortably. Can participate in human resource activities such as the "wing bowl" and ice cream day, but only if you're on the applicable shift of day work. They used to provide turkeys and hams during thanksgiving for employees, but they had taken that away to cut costs. Can learn valuable skills and training, but best to learn what you can and use this place as a stepping stone to a real career.
Cons
Do not expect to grow or move around this company. The majority of people who work here are generally nice people and mean well, but will throw you under the bus to save their own skin at any cost. Safety is at the bottom of the list for this company's values. They may preach they are safe and care about safety, but don't be fooled. More tenured employees with 7-10 years of employment can get away with just about anything, so the real work and production falls onto the new underpaid employees. Management hires supervisors and managers who lack any sort of relevant experience needed to perform or troubleshoot in relative environments. Also to note, the union is a joke. Upper management has pulls and ties with the ability to divide the union and get anything they want from union committee. Management will take everything away they possibly can while the union sits back and watches. Anyone who speaks up will generally be ousted and left on the street looking for another job. This is not a real union shop and you have no job security whatsoever.

Engineer

Lots of opportunities to do a wide variety of things. Very flexible and understanding in terms of work/life balance. Small team so frequently see a project from start to finish. Great benefits package. Good team atmosphere.
Cons
Can sometimes feel like direction keeps changing. Can be very stressful at times. Pay is on low side (but not horrible) and organization is very flat, meaning career advancement is difficult.
