Business Outlook

Pros

Big company benefits; low healthcare costs. Relaxed atmosphere. Low stress. Great hours. Large company means lots of internal jobs available.

Cons

Pay is about average and below what other competitors will pay their engineers. All groups within the company operate differently. Management plays favorites with certain employees and does not try very hard to train or advance employee's career.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good launching point for a career in the Oil and Gas industry but will need to switch companies if you have any ambition. Wft almost never lays off anyone, very seldom will Wft cull the heard of the dead weight, which leaves mediocre employees with no career plan to hibernate their lives away in an office for 20 years without advancement, this is also a big CON depending on your vantage point.

Cons

To much focus on external growth instead on internal efficiencies, 1980’s business modeling and poor management treatment of employees; bonus are just rumors (and only the very top managers in the inner circle get them) so don’t count on anything other than your paycheck, which will be on the lower side of market rate. Poor training, often thrown to the wolves’ to figure your job out based on job description hired for. CEU's are nonexistent so save your money to keep your own certifications current.

Pros

Free parking, no shortage of work, opportunities for training and education, fairly inexpensive benefits, lots of smart, motivated, and talented employees (non-managers)

Cons

Employee turnover very high, managers seem to be given cart-blanche to behave badly, treat employees poorly, and be generally incompetent. Yelling, threatening, cursing, lying, and throwing things at staff went unaddressed despite reports to HR and that the behavior was well known between several locations.
