Pros
Compensation - although Diamondback doesn't give every unlucky Permian Basin employee a location premium. Cash Bonus - great to receive this during spring break each March. Stock Bonus - solid, when the stock is not worth $20. Benefits - good medical and vision. Career Opportunities - great if you have white male privilege, in a white male privilege company.
Cons
Compensation - talk about it with your friends, you'll be surprised how wildly your pay varies. It's eye opening how much people are valued, or undervalued by supervisors. Bonuses (Cash/Stock) - big bosses will tell you they're transparent, but they're not. How is your bonus calculated? God only knows. (If it seems like a BS game, it's because it is. Trust your instincts!) Benefits - dental benefit might as well be "good luck." Career Opportunities - not so good if you're hispanic, black, or asian.
