      Pros

      -competitive salary and compensation package -lots of downtime -lots of paid training/courses -good focus on safety -modern work environment; ergonomic office furniture and equipment

      Cons

      -management has poor decision making ability. very disorganized! -fails to practice what it preaches, "respect, diversity, and inclusion" -degrading and offensive work environment; if you're new in shell, be prepared for lewd jokes and insidious messages being passed around in the office or out n the field all day. -political environment; favouritism trumps work performance -does not value employees in lower ranks; no room for advancement -layoffs in the last two years and possibly more in the years to come
