Pros

Decent pay for the area, but below average for the industry. Benefits are pretty good for the area, but subpar for the industry. If your looking to start a career in oil and gas its not a bad place to learn the ropes. The company is full of knowledgeable people willing to share. Average age of the control room is probably high 20's low 30's so a bit of a passing of the guard going on there.

Cons

poor management and nepotism combined with a frat mentality results in a work place where your part of the in crowd or your not. Management relies heavily on other peoples opinions to form there own and results in a toxic work place. Also the company is very focused on public image before and especially since the hack.

Pros

The company offers decent pay, good 401k matching, and a nice bonus structure, The corporate office is nice, and the vast majority of rank-and-file employees there are friendly folks who are passionate about the work they do. Day-to-day work is a steady pace while allowing breathing room to dash out of the office for a quick lunch or errand.

Cons

The acquisition by private equity has turned the company on its head. Management seems to constantly be threatening more cuts at all times- a mentality shared by the top that seems to trickle down to frontline managers. There is a squeeze for work, and people will pass the blame on any blunders, no matter how small, to save themselves. Additionally, any talk of strong job trajectory or upward growth has shown little proof; the only way to get properly moved around is to know the right folks higher up in the hierarchy. The best recommendation is to wait until the company is sold during the next acquisition and reevaluate from there.
