Decent opportunities but lower pay than other companies within the same industry

Combo pipe welder

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is more job security as many of the projects are longer term or maintenance contracts.

Cons

The pay is lower than other comparable companies within the oil,energy and gas service industry. Depending on your craft there may or may not be any room to move up. As many employees in this industry are aware the organizational culture varies greatly from site to site depending on management and in my case QC. They determine the type of environment the site will have. Sometimes it is very pleasant but as you move to other projects(sites) it can be very cut-throat, unfriendly and based primarily on achieving the most output from welders and pipe fitters.

Pros

Zachry as a company seems to have the best interest of their people in mind. The Site Superintendent was one of the best I've worked for.

Cons

Lack of Project Controls support.

Pros

The company is definitely trying to develop its culture with the newest members. There is an attempt to have its employees be a post of the community. Professionally it tries to have each employee develop to their fullest potential. It's all in their hands

Cons

There just some middle managers that are stubborn and refuse to give credit where it's due. You also have some ppl that have a back stabbing attitude, but they are quite easy to spot since they stand out.
