Pros

The salary seems good at ~72,000 a year starting out, until you realize the land cementers have a more regular schedule and get 20K more a year

Cons

Job didn't turn out to be what I was told during interviews. Work offshore for a couple years not leading any crew or any supervisor work and no job bonuses, then move to the office and be on call 24/7/365 unless you take vacation days (15 a year) and still get no job bonus. The money isn't worth the time spent working there. You'll get one day off for every three days offshore, while all the cementers you work with will get three days off for every three days they work.
