Good place to work for most - Senior Counsel Occidental Petroleum Employee Review

Great culture and environment. Work life balance is great.

The Pay could be better.

Good pay and good bonuses. Nothing else worth mentioning of any positive value.

At Carlsbad, NM operations 98% of professionally credentialed management and supervision have quit or been fired. The remaining management and supervision hold at best a high school diploma, and half of these people are functional alcoholics. Exceptionally poor design and execution of facilities with multiple facilities burned to the ground each quarter. Additionally, there is zero training and zero development for employees. If you're expecting quality employment with professionals this isn't the company, look elsewhere. Generally speaking OXY management, supervision, and employees hold exceptional poor ethics and morals with non-stop lying from employees, refusal to participate, and supervision lacking base knowledge. Since they've hired 99% uneducated and unskilled individuals the company culture has taken a nose dive for the worse, with expectation of several hundred additional employees quitting. Each year about half the operations group employees quit, it's literally a revolving door.
