Pros
Halliburton generally promotes from within, provides adequate training, and the Houston office is very organized. All levels of management in the Houston office are involved with the safety and training of the employees and show genuine concern for the well being and equal treatment of all employees. The Houston managers are concerned about their employees safety, necessary safety equipment is provided without question, and promotions are merit based.
Cons
Employees are on call 24/7 and vacation time each year not used prior December each year is not eligible to roll over and is lost. The Midland offices promotes and gives preference of assignment to male employees, regardless of seniority. Employees are often asked to work extra hours without compensation, and safety equipment is not readily available until someone is hurt. The safety office's response when asked for PPE necessary for the job is that it is not available due to budget cuts. Employees are required to provide supplies that are necessary to complete the daily assignments at their own expense and are informed that is why they receive a per diem.
