      Pros

      Reasonable work loads Great benefits Fast paced and interesting

      Cons

      If you are not an engineer or working in a science oriented role you will find that there are two sides to this company... The differences in pay and benefits are truly astounding. When anything goes wrong accountability is nonexistent.

        Great benefits and PTO.

          Pros

          Benefits are amazing and the friendships will last a lifetime. APC is very good to its employees and the community

          Cons

          There is a lot of favoritism and promoting when there should be to deserving individuals. Upper management puts their head in the sand and doesn't realize what they really have.

            Great benefits and a lot of accommodations.

            Cons

            Employees keep to themselves quite a bit

              Pros

              Great benefits that are hard to top.

              Cons

              Terrible ever changing management that has limited sense of direction. Reorgs are a constant variable to work around.

                  Pros

                  PTO is good, 9/80 schedule, reasonable pay, 401k matching, great facilities (office, gym, cafeteria), friendly culture, no micromanaging, Metro van subsidy, sometimes interesting work.

                  Cons

                  Lots of managers, limited ability to advance. Broken review process, some silos. No raises or promotions last year, stock based bonus eliminated. There were layoffs earlier this year. The company should implement paternity leave as a benefit if it truly cares about family and community.

                    Pros

                    9/80 schedule and solid PTO plan is great. The health benefits and 401K matching are also quite good relative to industry peers.

                    Cons

                    Hard work and brand loyalty is completely unappreciated and unrecognized. Also, high performers have actually gotten low balled on their salaries post-layoffs but have had to take on three times the workload of the many low performers who were given an outstanding severance. Seems kinda backwards to me. If those who stayed are "top performers" than you'd better start taking care of them.

                      Pros

                      None really come to mind other than that they pay fairly well and have decent benefits.

                      Cons

                      Management is detached and dishonest. Very much a “who you know in order to advance” company. Back-stabbing. Steer clear.

                        Best company I have ever worked for. Excellent benefits and pension in the oil & gas industry

                        Cons

                        So many layers of managers, GM's, PS. The managers don't have a lot of freedom to get things done.
