Pros

Get a lot of training, experience and knowledge of oilfield, a lot of pressure from above management and having to deal with different people, do whatever needed to do to execute the job - all of that is more than huge experience for just one job

Cons

No time off, pressure, training, little respect from management to people, almost no respect, bad working environments compared to other companies

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.
