Pros
The senior geologist were great, a pleasure to work with, and happy to educate.
Cons
Basically everything else. Senior mgmt. is out of touch with people. There are many politics. If you want to advance be prepared to "brown nose". The entire environment is depressing, it seems as if everybody is looking for new employment and using Corelab as a "get by" job until something better comes along.

Pros
There are no pros here.
Cons
Worst position ever. Says you will work "some" nights but realistically it comes out to working more nights than days. If you are in the science field, don't apply here. If you like a construction atmosphere, truck driving, general labor, or you want to die an early miserable life apply here. No room for promotions/salary raises. Upper management trys to cut corners whenever possible without thinking of the saftey of employees.
If you want an exit interview, forget it. They didn't even call.
Stay far away if you're a descent person. New grads, I speak to you. The wait to find a job is worth your suffering. Go work at mcdonalds, anything is better.Advice to Management
None, you're far too gone down the rabbit hole.
