Pros

The number one reason I like my job is the freedom it affords me. I am no longer at an 8 to 5 job behind a desk but outdoors in the wild where I enjoy being and I only work 2 weeks out of the month. It is the best feeling ever to drive, stop where you want to eat and not have a boss breathing down your neck as it usually is in an office environment.

Cons

The cons about my job is the inclement weather. Although I love being outdoors it is not the best feeling to be exposed to severe blizzards, cold, rainy and extreme hot weather. Being called out at 12:00 A.M. is also not a very good feeling but it comes with the territory. I do my job to the best of my ability no matter what the weather is doing.

Pros

Very work/life balance friendly. Very strong benefits package.

Cons

Very Siloed. NOV is the result of over 100 acquisitions and the fractured condition of systems and procedures is evident. Leadership is working on it.
