Pros

Pay and bonuses only good when oil price is high (or if you are in Bakersfield office - affordable housing in the armpit of California), benefits have recently been taken away, so this is not even that much of a Pro anymore.

Cons

Sexist against women, middle management and RMT leads are very inexperienced and under-qualified who promote inner friends to cover each other, poor to non-existent early career mentoring, upper management does not provide leadership or corporate direction to staff, unethical values, lying to stakeholders (reserves), culture of back stabbing and stealing of work is prolific, forcing good qualified professionals to leave, politics and red tape, lack of foresight evident in operations due to lack of experience

Pros

Compensation is above average and fuels the Kern County economy

Cons

Employees are not valued and are dispensable as oil prices inevitably fall, they have a "do more with much less/barely enough and push people to their mental break" culture.
