Pros

If you want to work a lot, this is the place. Pay is at the bottom end of the industry average for mechanics Work isn't very difficult

Cons

Upper management is near incompetent No organization with scheduling, maintinence process, or maintaining parts No tool allowance or profit sharing Very high turnover rate Overworked, at least 60 hours a week, (right now it's slow) they dont care about your family or personal life. Better find someone else to run your errands and pay your bills, you may be told you work in the shop, but that won't stop them from sending you 8 hours away for weeks at a time to work on a wellsite. I have been sent 4 hours away from home to work for a week, didn't have a hotel or man camp scheduled for me, had to sleep in my truck.

Pros

Great experience, especially if just starting out in oil and gas industry. Lots of industry-leading equipment/tech/etc.

Cons

If you can't handle long hours, harsh conditions (at times), and being away from home for long periods of time, this job isn't for you. My experience at Halliburton was also that many people feel like they're just a number in that management will make frequent (and often sweeping) changes to processes, workflows, engineering schedules, etc. Lots of bureaucratic hoops to jump through in order to advance through the three levels of Field Engineer before you can "break out" and really make good money.
