Pros

Start out making 16/hr as an OA1 without a CDL, hours are there when it’s busy. You can make a really good living here if it’s busy. Ask about your competencies and keep your supervisors looking your way to hopefully move up. They’ll pay for you to go to CDL School if you stick it out and make a hand. Overall in a nutshell the company is well put together and if everyone does their part in the field and office, Halliburton would be unstoppable. In house parts & service for pumps and equipment is awesome in the oilfield, no waiting weeks for a special order to come in. Halliburton is doing something really good here. Management is more than understanding if you’re too tired to catch a job, Halliburton prioritizes safety of everyone. That you will very rarely find elsewhere. You will make friends on all levels in the company, I’ve found that the managers are really friendly and down to earth.

Cons

Managers blatantly overlooking issues being brought to their attention. Poor management techniques to mitigate conflicts among people in the crews. Also watch your paychecks, they recently got hacked and made everyone pay back an overpayment of $2,000-$6,000 each. Horrible, just horrible, it’s not that hard to look at a DOT timesheet and calculate how much to pay that individual. Trucks have coffin sleepers, and sometimes 2 drivers in one truck. Sleeping across the seats is rough on the back after a cement job. From the company standpoint it will cost millions to fix this issue, but taking care of your people lessens high turnover rates.

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and opportunity to work on large-scale marketing initiatives. * Exposure to technical subject matter and cross-functional collaboration. * Good place to learn how large enterprise organizations operate.

Cons

I joined in a hybrid role where flexibility was an important factor in accepting the position and making personal life decisions. Within about a year, the organization moved to a full return-to-office model. While companies can change workplace policies, the transition felt abrupt and inconsistent in practice. A recurring challenge was that expectations around in-office presence did not always appear to match day-to-day reality. Remote participation still occurred for meetings and operational needs, which created confusion around when flexibility was acceptable and when it was not. Within my department, I also experienced challenges around communication and collaboration. Feedback on projects sometimes arrived late or only after priorities had shifted, and in some cases work was reassigned or substantially changed without clear involvement from the original contributor. Public criticism of work product without prior coaching made it difficult to improve or feel ownership over deliverables. Leadership communication during organizational changes often felt more focused on compliance than employee concerns. Employees raising questions about work arrangements sometimes perceived limited space for open discussion. Over time, the combination of reduced flexibility, inconsistent application of expectations, and limited recognition of specialized contributions negatively affected morale and trust.
