Pros

Make a quick buck. You may have the opportunity to see some different countries.

Cons

Lack or home life. The opportunity to take time off was non-existant. If you were to complete a vacation request form the supervisors would try to ignore it and hope that you stop asking. Lack of respect for employees health and well being. For instance, if I was working offshore and needed to come in to take care of personal or health matters it would take 2-3 days to get back on land, if not more! That is, if you could convince management to send out someone to relieve you. There were many instances where managers would hang up on field engineers mid-conversation.

Pros

The company offers a nice benefit and RRSP package to all employees. There is no 3 month wait time to get the package.

Cons

No communication within the company; Weatherford has grown by acquisition and nobody seems to know who reports to who; each division is not consulted when changes to there division are considered-they are told after the fact; there is no "One Weatherford" as indicated within our company "Motto"
