Pros

Weatherford had good benefits and salary, the international aspect made the work interesting and rewarding. When in a position to make a positive impact on company results left you feeling really good about the work.

Cons

No reasonable work - life balance. When in a position to make a positive impact on company results and not being permitted to do so, left you feeling really bad about your efforts and the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Typical schedule, if you are lucky to get on one right away is usually 4 weeks on and 2 off.

Cons

High Turnover Rate. The SLS operations management team is too laid back and has no managment experience. They were grandfathered in after being "shop" hands, fixing and calibrating the equipment we use. They need to take some management classes and appreciate their job, before they can appreciate what we do in the field. A lot of money is spent on new hires due to turnover rate, if middle management was smart they may be able to save Weatherford money by keeping the already trained professionals from quitting.
