Pros

-Good salary -Employee benefits -International workforce -Multinational experience -Good Learning and training courses -Met some smart people here -Good start for fresh graduates - good salaries, good experience etc -Good learning about management system

Cons

-Poor work life balance, especially if you are in field ( though you might make good money) -Smart people eventually walk away , you are left with stupid people who form senior management -Some field locations are tough , as they are located in remote parts of world -Office jobs are also very demanding, in most of the segment, people are on call all the time. - Salary increase and promotions slow down after first 3-4 years. - Smart people leave the company soon as most of the jobs require physical hard work. - Field jobs are almost blue collar jobs with good money - No mental growth, after few years you will realize that you are getting dumb! :P

Pros

The paid for First Aid Cert, PEC Card, and H2S Cert.

Cons

They will let you go easily, even if your a new hire they fired 18 people in the training class during their mass lay off March 2, 2012. They force you to be on a staffing company for up to a year with no benefits or bonuses and will let you go in a mass lay off even with a year of dedication. They are quick to pay decent, but even quicker to let you out the door. Better off with a company that will stand behind its employees than its share holders.
