Pros

Great opportunities, smart people, nice office. Really, really cares about customer service. Long View has always taken care of me and my team members in times of need.

Cons

Pay isn't quite up to market and the incentive plan is confusing. As the market has changed with the price of oil the perks have also decreased. Things that brought me to Long View (the golf tournament, the holiday party, the lunches, the MGM's) have also dried up.

Thanks for taking the time to write your thoughts about Long View. Due to a difficult year last year, we have had to make some expense reductions, but have worked hard to not have these changes affect our culture greatly. We're glad to hear that you have felt taken care of during your time with Long View; our people are what will always come first. We will absolutely take your comments under the Con section into consideration as we move into our new Fiscal year. Thank you for being here!

Pros

Outstanding management and Leadership. Especially from the CEO. They value their people above all else. One of their core pillars is FUN. Lots of company events and perks for employees. More like a family than a business. Open and honest about the business with employees.

Cons

Salaries are what they are but it's the nature of the contracting business with margins and not just on this company.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this review; we value your opinion! FUN is absolutely a core pillar at Long View, and it's good to hear you've been able to experience that while working here. We do want this to feel more like a family than a business, and have been working hard on our communication strategy this year to make sure everyone feels like they are part of a common goal, and are hearing the same message as everyone else. We value you, and everything you bring to Long View; thank you for being here!

Strong through tough times

Pros

Decent pay versus industry competition. Great opportunities for career advancement. Entrepreneurial atmosphere for those who embrace it. Follows many of the strong points documented in Jim Collins' book "Good to Great". Good benefits, good standard vacation offering.

Cons

A lack of diversity in clientelle bit the company hard when the oil industry changed for the worst. There still remains a lack of attention in seeking growth outside of the core industries, however that is changing. During the last 2 years, Long View underwent some difficult times, lost many good people and some true colours were shown by middle management, which has been a let down. Aside from this all, the core values of the company remain the same and an upswing will return Long View to its roots as a top-north service, product and support company.
