Pros

No layoff worries at Total. Shops in the US are very lean and upper management relies on attrition to reduce head count, not layoffs. Very comforting in times of recession or low crude prices. Very structured management (could be considered a con), but quality people through out organization especially at the staff level.

Cons

Not super competitive on salaries, and very slow to move people around and up. Young employees who are talented usually get frustrated with how long they are kept in the same role and leave before they can move up. Chemical engineers routinely get first pick of openings.

Pros

-Hybrid work option and free parking.

Cons

As a contractor, the expectations were extremely high while the benefits, recognition, and job security were significantly lower compared to full-time employees. Contractors were often expected to handle multiple responsibilities due to constant pressure from upper management to reduce headcount, creating a stressful and draining work environment. Despite proving your value through consistent performance over years, contractors still seemed overlooked for growth opportunities. In some cases, employees with only a few months of tenure were promoted into full-time roles, while experienced contractors were passed over. There was also a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times the culture did not feel fully inclusive or supportive. Compensation was decent, but overall work-life balance, contractor treatment, and career progression opportunities need major improvement
