      Not Worth Your Time

      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.

      A company that will use you, squeeze out all it can and spit you out.

      Many different jobs over 12 years

      Pros

      The benefits are very good compared to many other companies, starting with 15 paid vacation days, maternity/paternity leave, 401k, medical, etc. You have to take on responsibility early and are able to perform different roles/jobs, about every 2 years.

      Cons

      Long hours and no personal life, especially when working in the field. Below average compaensation compared to the major oil companies. Company pension plan is no longer offered to new hires. No matter how good your are and what you have done for the company in the past. If you are currently in a job that does not generate revenue, such as shared services or training, they will get rid of you even with the best annual review, just because the directive from the top is to 'cut 10 or 20%' of the workforce. On top of that they will try everything to screw you out of your hard earned perks such as stock options, severance pay, retiree medical, just so they can save a few bucks.
