Shell really believes in the Work/Life Balance and strives itself in making that a priority while working here. We all have lives outside of the work place, and to work for a company that promotes Work/Live Balance is a refreshing change! I believe this makes a major difference in productivity, everyone needs the opportunity to have down time and to – more... refuel the mind. – less

This was a great opportunity to meet others from different parts of the earth. Interact with those & still be able to work with something you love to do. I enjoyed seeing multiple environments that I had to design, working with others & also having the full freedom to work alone.

Worked closely with the supervisor in the company mailroom.

nice place to work easy not to much stress and great co workers to work with

I was attracted to Shell shortly after graduating from college by recruiters who promised great pay, options for advancement, and the chance to work in a groundbreaking, innovative atmoshere. Unfortunately the longer I was there, and the more I learned about what the company actually did, the more disgusted I became with the work. Shell's goal is profit, – more... pure and simple, no matter what the cost. We would be forced to sell an image of safety, responsability, and respect for the environment while behind the scenes the top guys were busy plotting the quickest way to basically destroy one of the planet's last pristine regions, the Arctic. When I asked about the double standard here - telling the outside world we were being safe when inside it was all about moving fast, grabbing opportunities, beating the competition, and crushing opposition in order to make sure we were the first to control the enormous wealth of petroleum in the Arctic - I was told to shut up and mind my own business. I started researching online and realized there are tons of environmental campaigns against Shell and many scientists who say the Arctic must be left alone to stop irreversible climate change. Coming from the energy sector, I KNOW how many renewable and clean energy sources there are that we could develop instead of drilling for oil. It got to the point where I could barely look myself in the eye; I just couldn't bear the thought of what my wife and kids would say if the company I worked for was responsible for a major oil spill or killing off the polar bears. So I quit, and I encourage all current Shell employees to quit as well. If you are thinking about working here, and you consider yourself an ethical person who cares at all about what happens to our world, run in the other direction. – less

Is job only important for the salary you get? I don´t think so.

Even the salary was not bad (but not great) working in a company which is proud of not be responsible for their own actions is not a thing for me.

After 2 years disastrous performances in the Arctic, they want to be watch as arctic drilling experts. I´m more interested in protecting this – more... important part of the world and save its nature, and wildlife as for instances polar bears, than supporting some CEOs, and investors luxuries.

By the way, I will miss 3 or 4 good people I met there. – less

Met many people from different walks of life, learned to be truly professional and creative

Entire office was transferred to Houston. Family was young enough to move.

Everyone there was great to work with. I got to do something different every day which was great

There were always different kinds of passer bys and of course the regulars. I loved speaking and attending to the customers in all aspects.

Cleaned restrooms and the facility to ensure customers came into a neat and clean store and recieved excellent customer service from employees such as myself.The hardest part of the day was to leave my job.

This foreign owned Company doesn't understand business practices. And like other companies in the industry is heavily male dominated. Stable positions but limited in advancement potential (particularly for women). Go for the benefits but not for work environment.

A typical day at work was to manage fuel transportation routes from Seattle and N. California stations. I learned how to use the SAP and ASE systems and also how to route efficently. Management was okay at best, and the co-workers was a joy to work with. The hardest part of the job was working on the weekends. The most thing I enjoyed about the job – more... was it introduced me to the world of Logisitics. – less

Your typical day starts by planning your inspection route and preparing the mobile laboratory for travel. Once you arrived at the inspection site, we began by securing the dealers consent before testing fuels quality, pump calibration and fuel inventory. Results of the inspection are prepared on site and presented to the dealer and submitted to our – more... main office. The days end in a hotel room together with an assistant technician. The hardest part of the job is your safety on the work in isolated areas where hostile groups are present. The most enjoyable part of the job is you get to visit different cities while doing you work. – less

Days were normally 13 hrs or longer. I worked guaging, mechanical, pipelining, welding learning every aspect of the oil industry. Management was 4 hours away and relied on my input for decisions. I had multiple required certifications

They didn´t allowed me to tell the truth about the plans of the Arctic drilling. Shell plans ae obscure.
