      Pros

      Job completion bonuses are nice, if you are eligible to receive them. Average benefits with 6% matching 401K (good luck making it to fully vested status). Experience is always good, if you want to stay in this industry after layoffs.

      Cons

      Everybody is just a number. Working 80-110 hour work weeks is exhausting. They are 12 hour rotating shifts in the field, not including the 4 hours driving round trip to get to that site. You will more than likely be laid off before you are considered fully vested.

      Pros

      Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

      Cons

      Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
