Pros

They are willing to train employees at almost any cost and the training is top-notch. They took me from knowing absolutely nothing about the oilfield, fast tracked me from Field Specialist trainee to FS1 to FS2 to FS3 (senior field specialist) in just a little under 3 years.

Cons

They treated their field personel terrible. Passed company policies from the main office in Sugarland with little or no regard to their their employees. The layoffs (of which I survived) were extremely cruel. They wanted me to transfer away from my home of 15 years to an unknown location with a future that was uncertain at best. I quit to persue other possiblilties.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
