Pros

The company offers decent benefits to their employees. They offer fairly competitive pay versus other places in the industry.

Cons

The contract that FSTs sign when hiring on is extremely shady, not worth the paper it's written on, and they don't allow you to take it home/have a lawyer review it or even to get a copy once you have signed it. They have stopped caring about their employees since oil took a hit and started a witch hunt to reduce their overhead by any means necessary. Anything expressly not given to you in writing is as good as gone when convenient for the company balance sheet. Many of the local workers have been fired or laid off in favor of H1-B visa holders who they can pay much less per hour. The management team is a revolving door of friendships and hardly anyone who in the position to do the job they are assigned.
