      Pros

      Company is always looking for growth opportunities, which allows for good career opportunities for those that want to step up and take on additional responsibilities. I found there to be great work/life balance as project deadlines always seemed reasonable to me and didn't require regular work after normal business hours. In general the employees seemed satisfied and the management and co-workers were mostly pleasant to interact with. Total compensation and benefits always felt fair and maybe a touch above industry norms.

      Cons

      There always seemed to be a new re-org. I would have preferred there to be more training opportunities.

      Good job, low salary. All of the good salaries are reserved for management.

      Pros

      The people and the company culture are good. I never had a problem with any concerns that I had. Immediate management always listened to my concerns.

      Cons

      Their salaries are at the low end of the totem pole. Actually they are the bottom of the barrel as far as the energy industry in Texas is concerned. Learn the industry here, but go elsewhere if you want to get paid a living wage.

      Pros

      Compensation, benefits are good, free lunch

      Cons

      Long hours, incompetent management, expectations are moving targets, heavily political working environment, management does not care about employees at all, management has no integrity (for the group I'm in)
