Pros

- My managing Engineering was fabulous (I would quit if I worked for any other engineer in my department tho.) - Insurance and retirement is available - People are nice in the office I was in

Cons

- Management is lousy - Teams do not communicate ( Mainly Mechanical will call at last minute stating you HAVE to get a project done for them by some unreasonable deadline in the Southeast Gas and Oil team) - Getting a raise is a farce (Was told in Oct./Nov. “wait till Jan. 1st will approve with everyone else.” It never came. Asked again, they said “oops I didn’t approve it, now it’s on to HR.” Waited. Nothing. Asked again, “oh let me see what is going on.” The next week I was let go because of overzealous pandemic response on April 2nd. Turns out it never got approved by the 50 thousand managers necessary to get a raise according to HR. P.S. my personal manager pushed for my raise and tried his best but has no real say in the matter.) - Stressful work environment due to so many overlapping projects - Change in a good way can not happen because upper management doe not listen to the lower management teams - Massive turnover of lower level employees due to overworking and under recognizing achievements and productivity - The front line of IT is all Indian and more often than not are no help or make the problem worse.

Pros

Full per diem, remote work and travel, keeps you working with exception of current pandemic and oil prices, deemed essential during this crisis, 401K and health insurance

Cons

Cap for Party Chiefs is $25 an hour I'm told. If you don't speak up you will never receive a pay increase and moving into other positions is very closed door. Often you have to work 6-7 days a week. Client is king here so being communicative and political is key, unfortunately. Blue collar mentality that promotes within friend groups. Since they switched to a different payroll company it has been a nightmare at times getting paid correctly. Work work work. You can forget time with family or paid time off. You work as much as you want. As long as you work very hard and don't express your opinions about safety, salary, or unsatisfactory working conditions (keep your head down) then you can almost guarantee to keep working. Reputation based to a fault.
