Pros

Great place to work with very smart people with which to learn and collaborate.

Cons

Halliburton doesn't value the power of compensation. They will pass on an employee to keep the salary mean under fair market value.

Pros

None, except for the name on your resume to help you move on to bigger and better opportunities! Know your rights and the company policies and procedures!

Cons

1. Experience does not matter; to be promoted you must know someone in management or be related to them. 2. Poor compensations & benefits; always request salary analysis compared to your peers based on experience along with market analysis. 3. Zero value for the employee; only interested in personal gains. 4. Low job security. 5. No neutral party to assist with any concerns; you must document everything word for word in order to be taken seriously. Even despite that, you may be disregarded. 6. Poor management; management disregards policies and procedure set by the company and mandates their own. 7. Zero growth opportunity unless you are part of the SCMP program. 8. No work/life balance. 9. No career development or training provided. 10. HR lets management get away with abusive behaviors. 11. Company practices are unprofessional and border on unethical. AVOID WORKING HERE IF POSSIBLE. OTHER OPTION IS TO WORK TO GET THE COMPANY NAME ON THE RESUME AND MOVE ON.

Pros

The benefits are outstanding. Great and affordable health insurance, discounted stock purchase, 401k matching, dental and vision. Discounts available for Halliburton employees for everything from vehicle purchase to lasik surgery. This is a good place to get started if you do not have any oilfield experience. But if you do, it will just infuriate you.

Cons

Basic per hour pay is the lowest I have ever had in the oilfield as a CDL Hazmat driver. You are dependent upon overtime to make a decent wage, working 100+ hours a week. When limited to 40 hours a week when work is slow, it is hard to want to come to work. Because of massive layoffs last year, the supervisors that are left are a mixed bag to work with. In general, they do not care about you as an individual employee, only how your physical labor can help them get promoted or get their next bonus. Promotion is easy to obtain with the competency system, but it takes work on your part. No one is going to teach you what you want to know, you have to go after it. You might get a whole $1 an hour raise, putting you still under the oilfield average. The orientation training I went through was sub-par and did little to prepare the new hires for what was really expected of a frac/acid operator.
