Pros

The pay is better than McDonalds. They pay for your CDL license. Good work experience when looking for somewhere better. Decent health plans.

Cons

Upper management could care less about their workers, we are replaceable. It is 10.00 bucks an hour. Extremely difficult to get a pay raise. Even though you put in long hours, with little to no time at home, your paycheck is less that what it "should be" for the work. They have special "exemptions" from the normal laws employers have to follow. No holidays off, unless it is your normal scheduled day off. Even then you have a high risk of being forced to work, since those with seniority decide to conveniently "get sick" leaving you to do their work.

Pros

Great people, good opportunites to learn about the oil industry. Good training programs on oilfield basics. Also there are many locations in the Houston area so it is easy to find a location that is close to where you live. Halliburton has been good at providing employee recognition in the past, but since January, that has slowly fallen off.

Cons

Politics when it comes to career advancement. Requirements that are placed on some do not apply to all when "friends" are helping one another. Also when changes are made, lately, there is little communication or team buy-in. It has slowly started to errode morale.
