Pros

Good benefits, pleasant working conditions. Interesting work and flexible scheduling. In-house Lubys, fitness center and daycare facility for employees. Education benefits and consistent pay increases.

Cons

Due to the fluctuating oil and gas market, frequent reductions in force created a high stress business climate. High turnover led to loss productivity as many corporate initiatives were abandoned before they were launched.

Pros

Training was good, they give you a mix of hands on and classroom training. Sometimes both in the same day. Which is a huge inconvenience and unrealistic to actual field work, you don't show up to a field office, well-site, or workshop in nice dress shoes then jump in work boots and greasy coveralls everyday.

Cons

They do not give you grades for the classes that you take, so you have no idea if you are even doing the work correctly. You could be doing it completely wrong and no one will tell you. It is as if they are secretly trying to weed you out.
