Pros

Its great place to work to get your foot in the door for the Oilfield. Also if you want to work out of the office and make some good money then it could be a place for you. You will meet alot of different type of people of every culture and educational backgrounds. If you like hands on types of work then this is for you.

Cons

You will work 70-80 work weeks. Sometimes the working condition is tough and the people you work with will be little rough. You have to be willing to tough it out and work continuously while you are tired and dirty.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
