Pros

- Pay is well and beats competitors in similar industry. - Before Convent personnel joined, culture was friendly. - 9/80 flex schedule.

Cons

- Culture is starting to become harsh and toxic. Convent culture is polluting the leadership team. - Growth opportunities are limited. Once upon a time there were plenty of growth opportunities across the Shell businesses. Now its non-existent. Manufacturing employees are seen as black sheep of Shell business. - Leadership does not practice what is preached. - Company politics involved with personnel moves and promotions. - Terrible reliability and operational performance that metrics are hiding. - Over worked Engineers nights and weekends for areas they do not support. - No focus on career path. Development plan is a paper work exercise for managers.
