Pros

The pay is good for my position and department at $21.63/hour plus overtime pay. Most people are getting between 72 and 84 hours a week so very good pay all together. The benefits available through Schlumberger are amazing and it is stupid not to utilize the discounted stock purchase program if it’s available to you.

Cons

You have to walk on eggshells for various reasons through training. Get used to hearing how you’ll be let go if you screw up when doing XYZ.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
