Every day job security is more important than extraordinary pay.

Technical professional

Business Outlook

Pros

Job security especially in a volatile market. It's nice not wondering if you'll still have a job on Monday. The benefits are awesome and the pay is fair. Halliburton has the best training programs in the oil field and they give their employees ample opportunities to continue their training and expand their knowledge about oilfield services.

Cons

Long hours. The pay could be more competitive. Halliburton has a bad reputation from the media so many people look down on employees of big red. As with any oil field service company, our high times and low times are controlled by the market and sometimes we get blamed for high energy prices when in fact Halliburton has no control over the market.

I can't see how any 1 person is worth the salaries, bonuses & options (golden parachute) that upper management draws.

Service supervisor

Business Outlook

Pros

If you can work a scheduled rotation the time off is not bad.

Cons

It seems as if nobody is held accountable for their actions except the people who work in the field. Support is almost non-existent. WAY TO TOP HEAVY. Have assistants for assistants & someone has to make the money to pay for their salaries. Too much of the good ole boy network, not if you can do the job but who you know. Years of service does not matter-your just a number.

Not the same company I started with. Mr. Halliburton would be very disappointed in whet his company has become.

Pros

Working International, the time off you get.

Cons

Lower pay compared to other companies. Field employees are the only people held accountable for their actions. Very top heavy. No loyalty to its senior employees, even if you have more than 20 years with the company. Benefits seem to decline every year.
