Current Employee – been working at Cameron International

Pros – Good atmosphere, work environment, and location. Management handles personnel with respect and trusts the employees to do their job. Laid back atmosphere that encourages hardworking employees to enjoy their job.

Cons – In my experience, I have encountered no real cons at the facility that I worked at. I think there are normal everyday stresses of a job, but that comes with the nature of the work being done.

Advice to Senior Management – I would suggest that corporate try to be more involved with the employees of the company. I know it is hard because it's an international corporation, but I'm sure there is a way to do it.

Current Employee – been working at Cameron International

Pros – Cameron is a large company so there's room for growth.

Cons – Depending on your manager, they will work you like a dog and give you no additional pay or bonus to reflect the overtime. Some managers refuse to let their workers work into the wee hours of the night others will work you until 1 or 2 in the morning, with no break or food!!! HR has heard many complaints and has done NOTHING! they also don't keep your comments confidential so beware of this before you complain to HR. VERY HIGH turnover in my group. So if you ever get a interview be sure to question tenure of members of the group you will be working with. VERY IMPORTANT!!

Advice to Senior Management – Hire Qualified personnel!

Advice to Senior Management – Executive team, consider the organization as a whole rather than your own individual goals. The executive direction will need to change at multiple levels to regain its strength.
