Weatherford reviews

Typical oilfield atmosphere, make sure you have though skin. Long hours, if you have a family prepare for this. Random work days, some JFE's get put on a schedule and some do not. Your manager wants you to get in as much experience as possible, so you will be catching a lot of jobs. Compensation, you essentially do the work of an operator and an engineer when on the job, so the work can be frustrating especially knowing you're not being compensated as well as the operators or engineer on the job. Sure your salary when broken down to an hourly rate of a typical 8 hour day is decent, but the hours you put in will diminish your hourly rate to that equivalent to those flipping burgers. Some districts I believe get field bonuses for JFE's, so request that in your interview and make sure it's in your contract...and if it is in your contract make sure you get paid!

Top management seem not to have records of employee which means promotions are done on requests, good friends or nationality with top management. In a world where nothing is perfect, you get no protection or support from management when the client starts being angry and field staffs are often left to face the brunt of the client alone. The field staffs are always to blame for most negative things on the field when management has failed to give enough support to field staffs. Training is poorly organized and most of the time you have to literally beg for it. You are expected to perform magic when you don't have all your tools. Whenever you send mails to your boss especially when you are home and activites are low, your boss hardly responds to your mails. Top management have more trust in the client and what the client says than in their own employees. Switching departments is almost impossible, I wonder how the phrase "one weatherford" was coined.
