Weatherford reviews

For those that are considering working in the drilling/energy field, I highly recommend that they consider Weatherford International Drilling Services. The interview process was surprisingly smooth. Once I was hired on, I was immediately brought up to the district office, met with my supervisors, was issued a truck and safety equipment, and given everything I needed to make it to my work site and get started. This is where it gets a little hairy. Your experience with this company will begin with your trainer. My first trainer was excellent. He was as eager to teach as I was to learn. He was always available, no matter what time of day or night, and this was a 24 hour operation. My next trainer flat out told me he didn't want to deal with trainees, so I was pretty much out there on the fly. And he was getting paid my original trainer, but it's a big oilfield out there and I never saw him again. After my first work site, the company flew me to the headquarters in Houston, put me up in a Marriott suite, gave me a rental car, and trained me at their headquarters for two weeks. It was absolutely amazing. As far as opportunities for advancement, it is all up to you. The opportunities are there. But here is a word of caution. If you plan on working for Weatherford, or anywhere in the field, you had better have your life together. Anything that comes up that renders you unable to perform your duties can definitely be your achilles heel. My issue was I was fresh out of the army (3 days, when I reported to my district office), I had post traumatic stress disorder, my marriage was on crutches, and my parents and brother were having serious health issues. I asked my coordinators if there was a chance I could relocate to my home state and continue working for the company, but my home state was out of their district. So I had to quit and move back home. Would I work for Weatherford again? Yes, no questions asked, and would even relocate.
