Pros

Salary is competitive with others oilfield service companies

Cons

Small locations tend to pretend to follow all the Schlumberger QHSE policy, but due to limited personnel and small revenue there will be many exemptions to the rules such as: working alone at night, driving during prohibited hours, working with dangerous chemicals/substances without all the proper PPE or engineering controls due to budget. Location I worked at was small (less than 50 employees) and there was a lot of backstabbing and bad-mouthing by upper salary grade personnel.
