Motiva Enterprises reviews about "manager"

Limited advancement opportunity. There is visible bias and favoritism for career advancement opportunities. People without a relevant skillset/experience get promoted or place into roles just because they are good with the hiring manager or executive team. The executive team is not the strongest. Too many org changes. Aramco dictates Motiva's long-term strategy.

Toxic environment. Employees are not appreciated by higher level managers. HR doesn't care and will always take the side of the manager, even when the employee has spoken up about manager behavior multiple times.

Lots of corporate politics; success or failure dependant upon your manager rather than yourself and could be based on their own ambition; people placed in positions of authority with no leadership skills; promotions based on who you know rather than your work

This refinery has went straight down hill and people are leaving or looking to leave as soon as possible. Turnover rate says it all. Many people are unhappy. 1 manager controls everything through fear and intimidation. This manager has a history with Shell of carring out the same type of actions but is overlooked because profitability is great! Nothing will change here.

Bad experience with certain managers

Issue with favoritism. If you are not one of your direct bosses favorites it will stifle your growth

Pay is lower than competition. Harassment at the refinery is rampant. Harassment is constant, often sexual and includes managers/supervisors. Other forms of harassment include spear campaigns, gossip, aggressive yelling, etc. Management is either involved or will not support you and will gaslight you if you bring it up as a concern so they can avoid responsibility/confrontation. Witnessed many safety concerns including managers overriding stop work authority, almost causing massive explosions, biased investigations, and pressuring their employees to hide recordable injuries. HR there to protect the company and management, not help you but that’s honestly normal for any company.

The odd hours if you work a non-traditional shift. You might also have to work holidays.
