Pros

Opportunity for advancement is there if you work for it. Local management has the discretion to promote you or not, so it can be good.

Cons

Once again, local management has the discretion to promote you. If you aren't one of the "good ole boys", you might be left behind. Always network outside your local area.

Largely an OK place to work

Pros

There were many very good people to work with. I never had any real problems with my managers. Work/life balance was quite good.

Cons

They aspire to be the best employer in the oil services sector, but I don't think that will happen soon. Career progression was quite limited. Recently, working from home has become a no-no, which is un-enlightened of the company.

Overall good experience with Hal

Pros

Money is much better than I earned before, but not competitive with the oil companies. Benefits are good, and there is decent opportunity for growth. All in all the business culture is professional, and the technology and equipment reliability have come a long way.

Cons

Personnel are typically controlled at the regional level, so your boss will try to hang onto you if you are good. Many good employees are not able to be transferred or promoted because their local manager wants to hang onto them for selfish reasons.
