      Pros

      Never fire anyone. On-site free cafe. Good pay. Work/Life balance is a plus!

      Cons

      As is oil/gas...people never leave and it's hard to grow and be cutting edge when nobody wants to change. There is very little loyalty to our contractors. They are expected to know stuff but are never included in the meetings.

      Advice to Management

      Treat everyone fairly to include contractors.

      Pros

      Great people
      Free lunch
      Great benefits
      Operations group are some of the best in the industry
      Corporate office has two pretty decent gyms

      Cons

      Management outside of operations is clueless. Lots of managers biding their time until retirement. Don't expect to change anything. Culture in the corporate office is based on backstabbing and hidden motives. Senior management is clueless to the real problems, as middle management sugar coats problem areas.

      Pros

      Amazingly smart employee workforce. Dedicated and friendly staff. Everyone loved working for Pioneer.

      Cons

      Way too much employee sharing (borrowing) and movement within the company which created chaos for HR and a sense of confusion. In a low price environment this employee swapping was going on to alleviate the need to hire. This company runs lean! so everyone is uber busy.

      Advice to Management

      Management at the executive level is phenomenal. Upmost respect for them.
