Pros

It's a salary. If you are motivated and say yes enough times, you'll get ahead. The old pre-merger BP would be "Ready, ..., Fire" "Ready, ..., Fire". The old pre-merger Amoco was "Ready, Aim, ..." "Ready, Aim, ...". Eventually, we will get to "Ready, Aim, Fire".

Cons

Too much process. Retirement plan was much better for heritage Arco, Amoco and Vastar staff.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
