Pros

Ok money, hard to get fired. Can get time off for family emergencies.

Cons

Leaders not setting company for a growth path. Appear to be making the company more attractable for a buyer. Current Shell culture cannot be competitive with other companies. Lots of useless paper work-- this paper work IS someone’s career. Poor/non-existent carrier paths for technical people. Upper management have stated safety is more important the making money. Have to play the popularity game for promotion. Bonus system is a joke. They assign bonus factors BEFORE doing an employee’s year-end review.
