Pros

NOV is a great company that recognizes their employees' strengths, allowing for upward mobility. The company has an excellent benefits package with insurance, 401k ($1 for $1 matching) and even a discount through AT&T.

Cons

Commute can be long if one doesn't live on the north side of town. For lower level laborers, the primary method of recruitment was through staffing agencies, which can make it difficult to directly apply for a position.

Pros

Everyone seems very willing to help, typically you just need to find the right person to ask. It is my first job after graduating and I think I am heading down the right path.

Cons

The oil industry has its constant ups and downs but so long as you do the work, you should be safe. Full time positions are typically the last to be cut.
