Chevron

Great place to work an build career.
Diversity is evident both at Local SBUs and the International SBUs.
I started work as Plant Operator/technician, but grew with time and experience. After 10 years of work there I had position as the Operations Support Engineer in Escravos Tank-Farm, coordinating maintenance based and small capital projects for smooth Oil & Gas Operations; then I worked 4 years from the Chevron Downtown Houston Office as Facilities Engineer on the Chad - Cameroon Assets up till April 2010; and concluded last 10 years of my career with the CALAEP (Chevron African and Latin American Exploration & Production) Inc, Chevron Nigeria Ltd in May 2016. I occupied a couple of job with titles changing with increasing capacities. My last position with Chevron Nigeria was as the Senior Construction Engineer on the Escravos Gas to Liquid Plant - a Refinery style plant for the best quality diesel, condensate, Naphtha and Waxes. I coordinated construction works leading to the start-up and smooth operation of the plant. I also started prefab works for spools and non shut down jobs towards the 1st Turn-around maintenance to de-bottleneck the plant.
All of the above were great opportunities and diverse exposures to grow career and confidence. That is typical of any professional with Chevron SBUs.

I took this job thinking the easy, steady pay would make up for the simplicity, but it turned out to be far too monotonous and restrictive to be worth it. Shifts involve standing at the register or pumps for 7–9 hours with nothing to do during slow periods no chair to sit on, no permission for headphones, books, or any other way to pass the time. You’re basically just staring into space or watching the clock, and proper breaks are hard to come by. The strict no-distraction policy makes the boredom feel endless and draining. Management plays obvious favorites, which creates a tense and unfair atmosphere. I’ve heard accounts of retaliation when people speak up or push back. Scheduling is inconsistent and inflexible shifts change somewhat often with little notice, and it’s nearly impossible to get a reliable or workable pattern even after repeated requests.
The pay is the only real positive, but it’s not enough to offset the extreme boredom, poor management practices, and lack of basic accommodations during long, uneventful shifts. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone unless you’re truly desperate for any job. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere.

Need to work diligently,but be aware of possible customers at all times . In the 15 years that I worked in Port Coquitlam, 11 years for the Chevron station at Shaughessy and Wilson . 4 years at the Shell station at Lougheed Hwy. and Pipeline is because I had good & fare employers, I would've stayed longer working for them if they hadn't retired . During my time at Chevron I got "employee of the month" 13 times and during the time with Shell, I received it 7 times . While I worked for both of them I got a total of 11 perfect scores on "mystery shoppers" program . The hardest part of the job for me to learn was customer service, the most enjoyable part of the job eventually was customer service . Because once you get comfortable with all the different aspects of the service industry, the job becomes easy( at least it did for me).  The most enjoyable part of the job is when you start receiving employee of the month & perfect scores from the "mystery shopper program".

Got this and I needed work I'd just bought the house in Houston. It was a good job doing exactly what I had on the previous one, the off plots on a refinery / petrochemical plant. 

I liked the people I worked with but wasn't expecting two of them to marry or invite me to their wedding. I loved it. I always told my boss to "Stand and Deliver" when I handed him my time sheet.

We were at the very very beginning of a big project, a topping plant in the jungle, so we were tossing around ideas and very very loose cost estimates, this was a new experience for me. I usually did a much tighter estimate based on real counts of what was going to be needed on the $/m3 of concrete, a tonne of steel or what have you basis.

We were also looking for where to put the plant, and how to fill the site (it was a swamp).

I got to go to Escravos Nigeria twice, and my direct employer nixed a third when they found out about it.

I did ok at the high-level negotiation on a golf course, but they excused me on the water hazard.

A typical day at chevron is all about the customers. Ringing in all sales at the cash register, giving directions, full service gas station, maintaining cleanliness of store, keeping coffee pots full, stocking selves, keeping track of inventory and balancing the till at end of shift
Located on Hastings just off Clarke makes always for an interesting shift. Many drug addicts and criminals in this area that the staff have to tolerate, making sure that no thefts happen during our shifts. Quite a few armed robberies have also gone on during my time there so interaction with police does happen. The roll over rate at this location was also high so I was constantly training new employees. I was mainly stationed at this location but worked at both from time to time, there are two Chevrons a few blocks apart with the same owner. I'd also work many overtime hour each week for those who didn't show up to work, lots of double shifts.

My main objective as an employee, and where I gained the most enjoyment was when you could work as a team to make the workplace  the most positive environment possible. the frustration, is that  many workers, lack sufficient organizational skills, and the anything will do attitude. I like doing tasks that have a good before and after affect.  Where you get a true sense of accomplishment. I enjoy customer service, providing efficient , effective customer interaction.  I like it when it is busy, providing we have  the proper staffing, so that customer service is not sacrificed .   As a manager, I like to delegate, cross train employees, I have noticed that some managers are micro managers, and fail to delegate, therefore  not giving their staff the proper opportunity to show their stuff and potential. Give the staff a chance to take on responsibility , their job becomes more interesting and it promotes the team concept.

The last two years at chevron have been a depressing time, I have been working there for the past 4 years and the last two was taken under new management. I felt like I have been disrespected. I have been in the customer services for 5 years now and 3 prier to new management and being told what to do by new employees whom don't know the job them self's. it was stressful not knowing what days I worked cause the constant changing of schedules with out my knowledge. Also the lack of supply's and equipment  that was provided for me was sad,  Had to bring me own rubber cloves and rags form my home to clean stuff like toilets and pumps. there was no team work and did all labour work well the rest sat one there phones and sitting in chairs.  I worked for another Chevron and never have I seen any thing like this, 

Now I do recommend chevron as a great place to work just the one i was at was not good at any point. chevron is a nice place to work. its a  great way to build communication skills

A typical day at work begins with a meeting of all staffs in the unit, after which I proceed with client registration and conduct screening for employees that scheduled for medical screening( PPMS- Periodic Preventive Medical Screening, Audio-metric Screening, Vision Screening, Pulmonary Function Test, Drug and Alcohol Screening, ECG and Functional Capacity Evaluations). One key learning for me in my organization is being a team player. The organization has an amazing safety and diversity culture. In face the company slogan is Do it safely or not at all, there is always time to do it right. The hardest part of the job is having an encounter with clients that has life threatening medical conditions. Most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the joy in the faces of clients that I have rendered services to.

Simply put, the couple who owned the stations I worked at were the best owners and managers ever. They were friendly, flexible, and cared about their employees. They are big part of the reason why I've been able to live on my own and keep attending school with minimal interference. The people and community there are tight-knit and supportive, something that's hard to find in other jobs of similar nature. This was the placed were I learned all my best customer service skills, till and cash flow management, and site security procedures. Customers were always the hardest part of the job (dealing with various levels of deluded entitlement) but knowing that the team has your back takes a huge amount of the stress off.

my typical day at this job was not what i expected, they made me hand wash the pumps and car wash when no one else would do it even though it was and mandatory to make sure everything was clean and look great. what i'v learn for working there is that the coworker can do whatever they want since they have work there the longest and complained about how there stuck here while they have a life. the management skill there poor when he was there he/she was there they would favor some coworkers. there was no hardest part of the job cause they really don't care what you do or when it gets done. the most enjoyable part of this job was the customers seeing there smile faces and helping them when they asked for.
