Pros

Management realized they had to give the employees that were leftover from the layoffs and people continuously leaving, something in this market, so we received a lot of "Thank yous" and pat on the backs for drowning us in work.

Cons

O&G market is a hard place to be since 2015. Many rounds of layoffs. The people that remained had to absorb more responsibilities. The people who were left were called the cream of the crop. Guess what, they started leaving with the pressure of work. Whoever is left had to absorb more responsibilities with even less resources to do the job. It was an impossible situation.

Pros

Not many pros to note as of late. I was promised many positive things when I was hired, and none of those things have come to fruition. "Competitive bonus structure, upward mobility in my career, and healthy work-life balance." I am currently doing the job of three people and have not been compensated for the increased workload, late night hours, and our bonus was cut in half starting in 2022.

Cons

Increased workload, lack of promotion from within the organization, and they cut the bonus percentage in half starting next year.
