Business Outlook
Pros
-Exceptional pay and benefits -Great support from senior management in the on-boarding process. I got to sit down and spend an hour each with 12-15 senior managers. -Houston is cheap! No state income tax -Opportunities to work abroad as soon as 18 months after you start
Cons
-Very narrow industry develops a specialized skill set -Not a lot of workforce diversity -The Texan mentality is either for you or it isn't...you have to decide that -Not a lot of change in the company operations. They do what they do, they do it well, they'll keep doing it. -Won't sponsor full time MBA, and it's very hard to convince them to let you take a leave of absence if you choose to sponsor it yourself.
