Built on more than 130 years of experience, Phillips 66 is a growing energy and logistics company with high-performing midstream, chemicals, refining, and marketing and specialties businesses. Headquartered in Houston, the company has 13,500 employees who are committed to operating excellence and safety. Phillips 66 is a Fortune 5 company with $51 billion of assets as of March 2013. Houston is highly populated with over 2 million people and is known for being one of the most polluted cities in America. As a management trainee of the human resources department at Phillips 66, you will work with the HR manager to ensure that policies are enforced and to constantly review and update HR policies for the company. Management trainees at Phillips 66 typically work 9 hour days and are expected to keep company records and information in strict confidentiality due to its highly sensitive nature. The management trainee position at Phillips 66 will start at $40,000, with a 3% raise given after a 60 day probationary period, and a 2% raise every year until the end of the initial training period. Phillips offers one-week paid vacation each year.
Although Houston is regularly recognized as one of the better cities in America in which to live, average commute times in Houston are quite high—many workers commute for more than 60 minutes each day (Houston is included in Forbes’ 10 worst cities for commuters report). As a result, some of the other management trainees have a tradition of renting a small apartment just six blocks from the downtown office. The upside (if you choose to live with the other management trainees): Your share of the rent and utilities is only $400 per month and the walk to work takes less than 10 minutes. The downside: You share a 900 sq.ft., two-bedroom, one-bath apartment with 3 other management trainees. You sleep in a bunk bed, have a make-shift closet area, and the hot water lasts for only two showers in the morning. Of course, there is a gym at the office if you don’t mind carrying your clothes to and from work each day.
