There are better Oil and Gas Companies to work for, but they will train someone with no experience.

Pros

- Great Benefits ie. Reduce Stock Purchase, Low Insurance Premiums, 401k with high match - Opportunity for growth in other areas - Good Training and Huge knowledge base to pull from.

Cons

- The pay is marginal compared to the same position with other companies for the hours you end up working. - No transparency on policy from middle management, you just get "told" how it is going to be never the how and why. - Not the best work/life balance, I work over 4300 hours a year and by the Halliburton policy I am 24 hours on call for all but 12 days of vacation throughout the year. - No bonus sharing for jobs well done at the field level, you have to become an office jockey working 8am-4pm to see any of that money.

Business Outlook

Pros

Security, good benefits, good safety culture

Cons

Mediocre pay, can't be innovative, must follow a lot of rules even if they don't make sense. Easy to be just a number. If you don't "fit in" then there can be problems. Difficult to get things done due to politics.
