Pros

It has revolutionary Processes and Procedures, highly focused growth & development plans for the business as well as the resources. It operates fairly, positively and safely and teaches and preaches the same around.

Cons

Vertical growth gets tough since there are no Oil and Gas companies of this big a stature around for inter job competition so stagnancy sometimes becomes an issue unless you decide to switch industry.
