Pros

More hours than you can handle, so although you may work for less money than you deserve, when you X that by 100 hours a week the paycheck gives the illusion of being big.

Cons

Constantly trying to get you to violate safety regulations, forcing you to work too many hours without proper rest, causing heavy fatigue. The buddy system protects lazy employees to sit & do nothing while a coworker does all the work. This company is new in the pipeline industry, they haven't quite figured it out and have so much to learn.

Pros

Variety of projects and latest technology and software.

Cons

Equity investor ownership means all that matters is profits. Negotiate the highest salary possible. Be wary of offer that includes a bonus as investors and senior leaders get their bonuses before anyone else. Offices in other states and regions frequently go into neighboring states and regions to get their sales. Runs more like a bunch of individual companies than one cohesive unit.
