Pros

Good benefits such as 401K, Health, and Stock Options. Unlimited overtime available if you want to get paid over your guaranteed salary as long as market conditions are reasonable. Great Cross-PSL Training in multiple departments throughout the company.

Cons

Extremely low pay for having to learn at such a fast pace while working in the field. Massive company so politics play a big role when moving up in the company. Not a very localized company when it comes to lay offs. Many lay offs come from the corporate offices so some of the better employees get let go instead of the weaker employees when there is a downturn in the market. Would recommend working here to gain experience and knowledge before moving on to a different company in the future that pays better.

Pros

I was able to move up the ranks quickly by showing initiative and simply answering my phone when it rang. The small group that I worked with was great.

Cons

There is little willingness to cooperate or provide information from upper management despite their lack of understanding of how each area requires different operational tactics. They are too focused on generating global standards when their should be a generic set of global standards with local variants. They also set up the sales staff woking under corporate Halliburton while Operations was completely separate, generating a separate set of goals on each side that are not usually mutually beneficial.
