A lot of responsibility, access to high-tech software, exposure to economics and finance of the fields. There are some very respectable people in management you'd be lucky to work for.
Cons
If you aren't lucky enough to work for the few very respectable managers then you may have a hard time advancing unless you are very political. It is a very glass-ceiling company. Ask around. You're either from the right school or schmoozing the right boss to move up. When I worked there I found myself working early, over lunch, and working late or over the weekends to get ahead. I burned out after a few years.
Good place to use as a stepping stone to get to a bigger player in the Oil and Gas field. Competitive wages, real good health insurance, good 401K, new vehicles in the fleet.
Cons
Terrible work schedule,(6-2) only off every fifth weekend (hard for a family with school age kids), must go through the lead pumper to get any tools or parts needed to get the job done, tools that are bought are cheaply made and break, young inexperianced lead that manages by intimidation not by teaching and helping. There is no discussion about issues, it is simply "I'm the boss, it's my way!
