    Pros

    Good team work and current management helps as needs arise. (as much as they can) Vacation is standard and health benefits are good. Open to new ideas and work with you if you have issues arise. (personal issues)

    Cons

    Pay is average to low. I believe better evaluations and the manager having input to salary could help but HR controls pay.

    Pros

    Good benefits package including pension and healthcare. Great colleagues to work alongside and not micromanaged from day to day which gives you a little freedom.

    Cons

    Minimal progression in many areas and not a lot of opportunities for personal development which can lead to frustrations amongst the workforce. Due to downturn in the oil market there is minimal work.

    Pros

    Good employee benefits like health insurance and medical benefits. Starting Allowance is high for a fresh graduate but considered relatively lower than industry after 2 years experience.

    Good place to work

    Sep 24, 2016 - Field Service Technician in Kingwood, TX

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    This is generally a good place to work. Most of the bosses are good and the benefits are good as well.

    Cons

    For technicians the schedule is usually non-existent. When they say "100% travel" they take that seriously. Pay is competitive for field technicians but not for a rig ET. Engineering support is usually nonexistent as well as they would rather techs come from Norway.
