Pros

Crazy high pay comparing to other industries.

Cons

Uncertainty due to oil price. Beware of 4-year window/term policy, which is normally good for upward mobility, but now it means you may be let go after 4 years.

When times are tough, they just cut

Pros

None, except salary and benefits.

Cons

Their philosophy of "I Care" is a fallacy. Not committed to the safety and well-being of employees. Corporation is too large of a beast. When bad times hit and employees do not have the right support, management just throws them "under the bus" and blames them.

Pros

Pay is good, educational advantages

Cons

If you don't know how to network, this company may not be for you. Also seems to weed out older workers.
