Pros

The benefits were wonderful and the bonuses were great. That's about it. The company also seems to make sure to limit layoffs at Corporate and all Plants (for example, an underperforming Plant was able to have employees work at another Plant in other states at the Company's expense). Another good point is the Company's global position. Employees are able to really learn at the global level and take that experience to another company. Finally, after 18 months, employees can transfer into another role. However, if you want to move because you aren't happy, it's hard to get a Supervisor's blessing.

Cons

Global company where most people have a heavy Argentinean accent and knows nothing about work/life balance. The company operates as if they are in Argentina, so the native employees work crazy hours (60+ hour weeks). In addition, it is hard to get your own schedule if you have outside things to do (picking up your kid, seeing your family before dinner time, etc). In Argentina, everyone starts work and ends work at the same time, so that is the expectation here in America. Another problem is that Tenaris has many chiefs and not enough Indians (no offense to anyone). You need like 5 signatures to buy an ink pen.

Lazy management and favoritism

Pros

The pay is better than NOV and some other oil companies. In a town where the next largest building is a Super Walmart.

Cons

In 3 years I don't think my supervisor has worked 40 hours. This is a company that will fire you for miniscule things, but will promote you for not doing your job. These supervisors eventually have followers and then those employees get special treatment and the additional work is pushed off to other employees. The favoritism here is disgusting. Too many prideful people that aren't willing to put their vanity aside and work together.
