      I worked at Precision Drilling full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Precision looked out for employees and helped with growing personal education and training.

      Cons

      It was during the difficult time in Oil and Gas, but that is normal.

      I 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.
