Pros

Good benefits that are very affordable. 401k match. Some room for growth depending on what you know and how you present it.

Cons

Poor Management Overview. Short staffed, high turnover rate. Low pay to be deemed oil field work. High expectations for understaffed crews, more and more is added daily. No raises. Some have been here for 3+ years and finally got 1.50$ raise, which matches the new hire onboarding rate. New hires are coming in making the same as people with years of experience with the company.

Pros

No experience necessary(it shows). Good for entry level experience. Easy to stay below the radar and coast by... if you like working beneath your potential then you found the right place!

Cons

Very little upward mobility. Years of service is regarded above natural ability. Distribution of management responsibilities from above to lower positions without proper resources, reward or recognition. In my opinion salary/hourly too low compared to industry average. Do your research if you have experience ... dont sell out short because raises are negligible. Not even consistent cost of living raises. This company operates like an old dog that refuses to learn new tricks.
