Pros
initially there were plenty of pros. It seemed like job security, culture was great.
Cons
But the CIO, who could not be a bigger idiot if he tried, continued to make horrible business decisions and constantly made everything a challenge to get planned and taken care of. Next time hire a CIO that actually knows technology. The culture shifted and the place that was great to work at became a hell hole. Back stabbing, lying, cheating, rigging systems, hardware, plants, stations, etc. I'm surprised no one has died yet. We had great IT on site FINALLY, she traveled around and seemed to really care about all of us. Western Midstream's ridiculous CIO replaced her with some short, squat chap who couldn't care less about any of us. This company could have been good after Oxy, but you guys let it be run by a bunch of bureaucratic jerks who only care about band aiding everything until the company sells. Oh ya, they're selling the company. Good luck! Aggressive and discriminatory behavior
