Pros
Able to learn the process, use your knowledge and experience to achieve your goals. I like that we are given authority of our unit and I am able to do my duties without constant watch or second guessing. Teamwork is great and so are the people. Great pay and benefits.
Cons
Management slow to make decisions. BP tends to be reactive instead of proactive. The powers to be make costly and sometimes ill advised decisions in order to appease the safety board. The COW program (control of work) is ineffective, out of control, and should be abolished or simplified. More paper, forms, and meetings do not make you work safer or smarter! Also, BP has too many levels of management and so many made up titles. With this culture, nobody can make a decision without checking with multi parties involved...... Frustrating sometimes!
