      Pros

      Laid back position, good job security since company is so behind, most people are pretty nice, decent pay. ability to work around other areas and gain experience.

      Cons

      management does not do a good job enforcing lab ettiquette or making sure people stay their full 40. employees that give 25% are given the same amount of praise of those that give 100%, not much incentive to continue working. not starting off on day shift is a personal con for me, maybe not for everyone.

      Advice to Management

      management does not do a good job enforcing lab ettiquette or making sure people stay their full 40. employees that give 25% are given the same amount of praise of those that give 100%, not much incentive to continue working. don't tell employees they'll be promoted to first shift within a year if that is not the case.

      I have been working at Weatherford full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Fairly well structured. Employees are provided with freedom to think outside the box and come up with solutions to problems.

      Cons

      Unstable. There is a lot of uncertainty from within the groups as to how long the company will be able to keep afloat.

      I have been working at Weatherford full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Decent pay (if you can keep your job)
      If you are exec level they seem to be hiring a lot.

      Cons

      Morale is LOW. Multiple layoffs per year for 5 years. Only people left are looking for job or have made their choice to sink with the boat. Anyone left with a job that could be off-shored will be next.

      Advice to Management

      Try some honesty with employees. Silence is the norm but even worse is the BS upbeat exec-speak followed by more layoffs and benefit reductions. I would guess that anyone NOT suffering from low morale is likely a cause of the low morale.
