Current Employee – been working at Forum Oilfield full-time

Pros – Can get a lot of good experiences. Fast and dynamic working environment. Flexible hours. Good training.

Cons – heavy politics at work; does not have a unified infrastructure between different product lines; top management gets too busy does not judge people on achievements but instead on how hard they laugh on his jokes. Crowed office space. No overtime pay.

Advice to Senior Management – Some of the managers don't know what they are doing. Hire the right person with competent technical skills not just how well they talk.

Current Employee – been working at Forum Oilfield

Pros – Some real pros working in leadership positions and in operations scattered across the company. My supervisor was exceptional and more than fair.

Cons – So many organizational changes resulted from blending 10+ acquisitions, the atmosphere could be chaotic, even more so with the market downturn and layoffs. Communication across the organization was sketchy and sporadic. This was especially so in engineering and support roles.

Advice to Senior Management – Even in a difficult business environment, perhaps especially in a difficult environment, keep the troops posted on how we're doing, how the entire company is doing and what direction we're taking to improve results.

Former Employee – worked at Forum Oilfield

Pros – Benefits are standard. The work is challenging at times. Time off is granted without need for justification (unless you are a shop/warehouse employee).

Cons – Overall, managers are uneducated and inexperienced. The company lacks basic values such as integrity and honesty. There is no cooperation between departments, resulting in a drastic lack of team-work and unhappy customers. No corporate culture, values, or standards of behavior. Employee's actions seemed to stem out of the "every man for himself" perspective.
