Down Year

Pros

Company is positioned to come out of this downturn way ahead of it's competitors because of it's low overall debt and excellent cash reserves. There may even be a chance of additional acquisitions as our competitors go bankrupt.

Cons

The management of the downturn at the local level needs to be better communicated and balanced as not all divisions are doing poorly and under performing.

Great wage

Pros

Great pay. Day rate. A lot of days were short and you're still paid your full wage. No overtime of course with day rate but not many days over 18-20 hours so it already ended up working less hours for more money.

Cons

Area I was in had too many guys with a god complex. Only real downside. Plus frozen centrifuges in the winter is never fun but that was the roughnecks fault. Also it being a big company. You're treated like just a number. The pay makes that bearable though.
