Pros
Great Benefits: Health Benefits, 401K match, and Pension are among the best in Houston. Cannot be beat. Campus perks such as on site doctors office, dental office, optometrist, and pharmacy available to employees. Access to child development center/ daycare on site and at a discounted price for employees. Two well equipped gyms with new equipment and staffed with personal trainers. Overtime available to some positions. Great Diversity and Inclusion program and a very inclusive culture.
Cons
Due to the slump in oil prices this company has really passed along the pinch to its employees. Upper management is taking away the prized "work life balance" structure. and removing the option to work on 9/80 schedules. No more private offices, cramming the occupants of 2-3 buildings into 1 building and requiring everyone to be at work everyday instead of flex scheduling. Changing all offices to open concept. They took away all land lines and office telephones, all communications have moved to Skype only. Management has cut down on office perks and benefits. Janitorial services cut down. Charitable donations cut. Cafeteria food is expensive and terrible. No clear communication from management to their subordinates. No room for career growth. Personal development plans and bonuses are not based on individual performance and are not in control of your manager but based on group level performance. A lot of lay offs and cut backs and not much hope for the remaining employees. Very low morale.
