    Unpredictable

    Feb 19, 2023 - Field Geologist in Lafayette, LA

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Travel Opportunity to teach yourself

    Cons

    Management has poor communication skills with field crew, especially on int’l contract work. Training is very limited aka you’re expected to learn most things on your own which usually leads to low quality handovers. Scope of work is usually opposite of what reporting manager relays to crew in discussions leading up to field assignments. Biggest con is lack of personnel, leading to an unknown length to any particular assignment you work on, domestic or international (you could be stuck on a boat for days or months).
