Pros

- Extensive HSE training - On Job and Classroom training - Online training modules - Looks good on a resume so leverage it to leave asap - 6month - yearly promotion possibilities (same job just more responsibilities in the field and a little more pay but still have no work-life balance)

Cons

-They pay as salary starting out so the pay (low per hour worked) and hours (13hr days weeks non-stop) are terrible, you would make more per hour working at Walmart, McDonald's etc. -Online training is extensive but often not job-relevant and you have to complete it on your personal time with no financial compensation. -Most job skills and training is D&M specific to running only SLB tools and has little to no outside engineering application other than other D&M jobs
