      Cons

      The company has a very horizontal structure with little opportunity to advance upward, mostly from one equal position to another. Difficult to move through the divisions inside the company. Some of the management is unfavorable and the HR department does not act on improving anything. Pay is below average for the industry

      NOV - Conroe Downhole Division

      Manufacturing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Estblished product lines, engaged employees, quality products, solid customer base, and nice facilities.

      Cons

      No worklife balance, high employee turnover rate, excessive pressure to make improvements without agreed strategies, lack of owenership in responsibilities, false dataset being used in KPI's and the lack of acknowledgement of real data presented. The Conroe division spends too much time chasing problems and should become more employee friendly that would develop continous improvement and work environment for the employees and customers.
