Depends on the Division of NOV you are in.

Pros

Internal job transfers are fairly easy. Work pace is not pressured. On Call schedule varies depending on how many sales people you have working at a given branch. Most all of their service end / rental divisions pay quite well and treat their employees fairly well.

Cons

Lack of accountability. Even when it came to upper management, it seemed as though people just turned a blind eye to a lot of issues that needed to be addressed. One past worker got drunk and wrecked a work truck and then applied for a store manager position / transfer and it was accepted! Depending on what division of the company you worked for, it seemed there was a wide range when it came to whether or not people cared if they got your business. Their smith fiberglass division was especially bad.
