Business Outlook

Pros

People are generally easy going. International team, but the exposure is minimalized with down turn. Good technical capability in OFS

Cons

Alot incompetent personnel, they don't have established policy, ppl dont abide to policy, or people create their own policy. Management don't really know what's going on in the organisation, those whom know can't fix because the culture is so poor. Weak business management function. Well, they don't manage, but to expect personnel to do data entry like robot withoud questioning Always hire the wrong person to do the job The CEO should step down, failed to manage the company for way too long, yet still hogging the seat.

Great company, bad structure

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company that focuses on safety above everything else. Company helps you learn the skills needed to do any job right the first time.

Cons

The corporate structure is the downfall of this company. All management above the sight specific GM level is comprised of people who have jumped from other companies and are bringing their agendas with them. Communication at times feels non-existent between product lines. There is no real structure to allow for plant locations to communicate with each other to help one another.
