This is a really really hard job. They pay you a lot, but they will work you like a dog to get it. - Anonymous employee SLB Employee Review

Pros

Great pay 21.00/hr to start, and time and a half for overtime. And you will get a lot of overtime. 12hr/day 2weeks/3weeks min. I have learned more about t/s electronics in 1 year than I have in 4 years getting my BS

Cons

Hope you are single or that you have a very strong family. You will never see them. 120 hour work weeks are common, 12hr/days manditory and that is if you are not working at a wellsite. At a well site 16hr/day min and you wont be coming home for 2weeks/3weeks. Your job is not secure. if oil prices drop, no matter how good a worker you are you are likely going to lose your job. Housing is insane in rock springs, 1 bedroom apartments in the worst area of the city is going to be over 800$
