Pros

Decent money in the starting, when you just enter new in the oilfield industry.

Cons

Field Engineer population gets burnt out very quickly, as they are overloaded and abused beyond limits. Soon after working for couple of years, they realize, that their job is monotonous with no creativity and innovation and they cannot grow any more in the company. And their counterparts who joined in other companies are in better position in life.
