Pros

Learn quickly, only engineer on location within 6 months, best oilfield training, 10 weeks of official classroom training during first year, little to no supervision from boss, you will learn to be self sufficient quickly which is great for personal development. 60k starting off, 25$/day per diem, 1k relocation bonus, 2k bonus at 4 months (equipment), 3k bonus at 8 months (fluids), at 1 year, up to 10% raise and daily bonus for everyday your in the field pumping a job (100$/day)... So at one year you'll be making 63k plus 100$/day bonus. Schedule is 10 on, 4 off. 3 of your days on will be in the office, 7 in the field. 11-3 for ATP's.

Cons

300+ hours a month, lots of driving, no work life balance, always thinking about work, low pay for hours worked, must stay for at least 2 years or you will have to pay back training bonus.

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.
