Pros
Work in 28 days on 2 weeks off first half of the hitch will be days you'll have 12 hours off and then switch to two weeks and nights but you're going to be generously paid for all your hard work done you get paid per diem . The money is not just the best part of the job do you work you live eat with all the guys Ballin like a brothers.
Cons
Conn's can be the same as the pros in a sense you're with the same people 24/7 you work with them eat with him you sleep with him you stay right on campus on-site you call it living combinations or take awhile to getting used to
Advice to Management

"Rig Employee"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Precision Drilling full-time
Pros
Great benefits and pay. This might have changed since the downturn in oil prices, but at the time, they were the most generous drilling contractor in this respect.
Cons
Experience on rigs can vary widely. Lots of rigs owned by this contractor, so safety and morale on individual rigs can change alot.

Pros
Amazing people to work with outside of managment. Great office hours.

Upper Managment and Executive Management are all Canadian and only believe in doing things the canadian way despite where they are actually at. Can't get ahead without being from canada

Pros
Great salary and location. Some upper management is okay, but most need training. Ok starter job but not a long term career.
Cons
Tons of office politics. Many employees are not trained properly due to incompetent management. Favoritism is definitely used when people are promoted, and is not based on their actual skill level in some departments. They are constantly getting sued for not paying employees their proper overtime pay among other things. Human Resources is a joke here, avoid at all costs.
Advice to Management
Hire management that actually knows what they are doing and are well trained.
