Business Outlook

Pros

A great team of people, experienced Leadership and a real focus on oil and gas customers. We are supported by our management to work safely, ethically and to bring value to our customers, not just sell sell sell.

Cons

Energy Services is very Houston-centric, so opportunities really are often about being in Houston, and ideally being an American in Houston. The international region sometimes feels a bit second place to TX.
