What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are very accessible and concerned with the well being of wvery employee
Supportive and always open to discuss problems and how to resolve them
They treat me like a human and not just an employee number.
They care about their employees
My direct manager is great, any leadership above her are ghost and unseen
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Removal. No time with workers
Sincerity. Communication. Valuing employees. Showing up to the office.
The leadership team is just a big clique. They don't lead anything and see most employees as being beneath them.
Understanding that we are human and relief employees are vital for a work-life balance.
Review from Operations Dept
Leadership needs to be more culturally/ethnic diverse. They need to understand that office culture will and should vary by region
What is the best part about your compensation package?
stocks every year to keep
Depending on your grade, the cash bonus can be good.
The 401k and pension plans
401K match and pension plan
Base salary, bonus, and LTI are awesome
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Management switches job scope and responsibilities but doesn't address pay gap for the changes.
I'm working a "Chemist" position, but as a lab technician being paid much lower than what a chemist makes.
Review from Operations Dept
Constantly given job responsibilities beyond my pay grade with no promotion or payrate increase
Management has devalued my job while Executives make quarter of a million dollars, annually
Promotions and pay increases go to favored employees not those who have earned it.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Genuine care and concern for one another and employees; hard-working, empathetic, and practical.

Smart, hardworking employees who care about each other and the org
We get along fairly well
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Maybe act professional. Dont just hire bros and a few eye candy females.
It is like a frat house. No one is held accountable for their work.
Some coworkers are great. Others do very little and get promoted for it.
Communication skills, and work life balance.
Review from Operations Dept
Coworkers were places in there position and lack the background and skills need for the role

Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Replace disingenous 1950s style managers.
Value skill sets, promote accordingly, remove the rule for internal candidates of only being able to apply for positions within 1 paygrade jump
The mission statement and company values need to trickle down to the average worker, not just the corporate team
Review from Operations Dept
Leadership needs to understand the long term impact of their actions or lack thereof.
Review from Operations Dept
Stop layoffs. Invest in the future - i.e. advertise and effectively market our innovations. Consumers don't know our products exist.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Felt they really wanted to know me as a person and not just a worker
Laid back and positive experience.
About the same as any other major company.
The ability to become stagnant in your position because you are needed.
Review from Operations Dept
They made me feel right at home.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Don’t lie to the prospective employ
Review from Operations Dept
Talk to people instead of only using scripted questions.
What makes you most happy at work?
Payday, shift flexibility, independence and getting home early
Review from Operations Dept
My coworkers and my employees
The people that i work with
Challenging environment. Learning and developing everyday.
Working in a comfortable environment
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The Andeavor MPC merger is failing. Attempts at bringing the two sides onto the same systems or same policies are going poorly. Bring in someone from the outside that actually knows how to handle such projects.
Management doesn't have a clue and doesn't care if they are unprepared for a meeting or if they tell outside customers the wrong thing
No career advancement. Promote/compensate valued employees
Management is ill equipped to deal with the company’s problems. Employee morale and engagement need to be addressed ASAP before there are major safety or environmental repercussion
By weeding out poor leaders and understanding what makes good leaders.
Review from Operations Dept
