Pros

Decent benefits and 401k. A few good work colleagues

Cons

Weir is a large company. but in the Sayre PA branch , the management is a joke. Only certain people aka: "buddies" get raises and proper treatment. If you dont -cough cough- bend and conform to anything they wish then you will not see anything good from this company. Example, i have been with weir since early 2012, moved to a field service technician in the beginning of 2018, I have never called off of work. You have 1 hour to return phone calls, I missed 1 single phone call due to extenuating circumstances (have been written up and threatened to be terminated for) have gone above and beyond all that was asked of me and still have never seen a single raise. Ive been told 4 times that my raise is coming and "awaiting paperwork " . Maybe other branches are better, but the wellhead division in Sayre PA is a complete joke. We have an incredibly high quit rate. So far 2 people this month have quit, and I completely understand why. Expect phone calls at anytime 24hr -7 days a week, regardless if you just finished a 12+ hour job and have been home for 1 hour. They do not care about their employees or for following the company guidelines and procedures let alone the labor laws of Pennsylvania. Started out as a decent place to work, but the past couple year have progressively turned into a terrible and overly stressful work environment. PS. Training is a complete joke as well.
