Pay structure is on a draw basis if not on a job. It starts to add up if a job does not come up quickly. You have to pay back that draw once you start a project. Also, pay could be better due to the fact your always away from home at long periods of time. Also, when oil and gas is in a slump, be prepared to get laid off unless you been there for 15 years or longer. I think there is a time seniority when layoffs cone around. There are employees there that have been there for 20 years.
