Pros

- 7.5 hour workday. - Still use some Imperial Oil systems and thought patterns in Alberta. - Staff are hard-working.

Cons

- Sexist and ageist management. - Most managers are secondees from Owners; Shell, Imperial and Suncor. - Pay is not competitive with Industry. - No Training or support. - Outdated systems and ancient IT network. Phones and Internet go down repeatedly. - Keep hiring managers and no support staff to do the work. Increasing workloads and stress. - Management lies to Regulators, employees and public regularly. - No accountability at any level. - Staff aren't treated well, therefore don't really care about the job. Zero respect from Managers. - Staff consists of almost retires or people who just need a job for a couple of years. Management expects this. - Toxic work environment. - Constant micromanagement from mangers. - Outdated policies and guideline. - Management does not foster open communication or collaboration - "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality. - HR ignorant to staffing issues.

Inadequate mid- level leaders

Pros

The job is stable relative to the industry. Good days and bad days. Decent workers for the most part.

Cons

Low to mid-level management are improperly selected without verification of leadership skills. There are no employee feedback loops if concerns come up. There is an impenetrable wall between executive leaders who want positive work experiences for employees and managers/front-line supervisors who are not trained, lack leaderships skills and are not committed to healthy worker relationships. There is no accountability for leaders who break policy. There is no way for employees to report concerns without retaliation. Low level supervisors micro manage. Mid level managers are disconnected and apathetic. Executive leaders are mindful but blocked from 90% of employee experiences due to mid level management practices and silos. Engineers are not field trained. Technicians have little to no buy-in and no agency to participate in organizational improvements. Aging population which will cause a significant loss of knowledge. Poor handover practises. Poor onboarding practices. Systemic management failures due to all of the cons described above.
