Business Outlook

Pros

Training for this position covers everything from safety to more detailed drilling operations. I'm expected to know a little about every aspect of offshore drilling.

Cons

As an SDL employee, and a 'product' to be sold to operators, we are the money-makers for the company. They were quick to cut our pay - four times now.

Pros

The people are great at Halliburton and during the good times (when oil is not <$50 a barrel) it is a great company to work for. Pay and benefits are competitive with other oilfield service companies. The training aspect is one of the real highlights of Halliburton. They provide excellent training opportunities through professional development programs.

Cons

As you can probably read in the paper, the oil and gas industry has be hit hard recently and this has really affected the oil field services sector. Halliburton is no exception to this and most of the employees have had to endure watching an endless parade of layoffs. This has negatively impacted moral. Halliburton is a commodity-based service company, so innovation not as valued as it is in other companies. This may be frustrating for some.
