Pros

Family friendly work environment, not a lot of pressure to achieve meaningless goals. Focus is on risk management and finding good places to drill. Everyone is pretty much 9-5 and no work on the weekends is nice.

Cons

Lack of accountability. There are a ton of people here who should have been fired long ago. No one wants to change and therefore no real significant change or progress can take place. There is pretty much no pride in the work here.
