Pros

Great training, some of the best out there. HR claims to spend $30,000 per worker in training. Boots on ground experience, gain a large understanding of the overall process. In the beginning the job seems easy because there tends to be a lot of downtime between stages.

Cons

After spending time there you will begin to notice their is a large double standard with everything they do. Their is 0 loyalty to their hard workers and most valued employees and will screw you over while working there or when you leave without even batting an eye. In the beginning you tend to not want to believe that but in due time you will come to the same realization that all senior (1+ employees) come to, they don't really care about you. Their business strategy is to train up tons of cheap labor to do the job and continually train up and bring new people. This is why there are very few senior individuals and people who actually know a lot about what is happening. They take away your pay, hours, and perks when times are rough (right now) despite the fact that last quarter was their best quarter ever. The promotion system is always changing and never ending thus making it very difficult to get a raise without diligent and focused effort (which most people cannot dream to have after working 100 hour weeks). And even once you complete everything, you have to have favor from upper management for them to even input you into the system for your raise. They also "promote" (without pay) people to positions of higher responsibility when they aren't ready or simply to fill the spot (because so many people are leaving or moving around all the time). To top it off, they are great at killing morale and not holding up to their promises. They also claim that they do not want to fire people. The reason for this is because if they fire you, they don't get to collect money from you when you leave. When you read and sign the contracts in new hire, be very careful about what you sign and always get a copy. Lastly, they are the lowest paying oil company in Williston and claim to have the best benefits (a farce). Just remember, this a great training company and not a good long term company to work for (unless you are upper management or HR).

Pros

The pay is good with per diem etc. and benefits package Excellent training if you can make it through their military regimen

Cons

Pay does not reflect long hours nor competency they squeeze anything and everything out of you... You will never have quality nor a work life balance as long as you work here... They own your life when your there. You can never give enough. The first couple of months you think its attitude..., but you begin to realize your a pon. A means for them to make more money. In fact in training I was told they hire engineers so field mistakes could be solved by laying blame. Their is no need for engineers out their. Everything can be accomplished form base and in some locations it has been tested... They say you have rotation of days off lol... they will call you in...trust me... They preach one thing about safety and do another... They show they don't care...

Pros

The people are great. I was there for 15 years and loved it until the return to work mandate.

Cons

For global company, one would think they would allow someone who manages a global team and was responsible for a 24/7 hotline to work flexible hours. When they mandated a return to work, I was informed that I had to work core hours in the office from 8-4 Monday through Friday. This would be fine for someone who just works during the day. As a global manager, in order to do my job, I worked on average 3 hours after core working orders as well as weekends. How else can you provide superior customer service across the globe. I offered to work everyday from 8-1 and then the afternoon and evenings I would do the rest of my work from home and they refused. Upper management was completely unreasonable which is why I immediately severed service.
