Pros

The only advantages to working for ANY drilling company is the wage. Precision does offer health and dental on a share basis (you pay some they pay some). Also they implemented some kind of family support system but I'm not sure how or if it works.

Cons

They say that family is important but if you try to take days off to be with your family you could potentially loose your job (not with the company but the rig you work on). Your on site manager (tool push) is either older and set in the ways that things used to be done or he's new and has no clue how to run a rig. Communicating while at work with your bosses is hard at times and the rest of the time is almost impossible. The older the tool push the worse it is. They have no respect for the people below them and now that they have the job they want they treat you with no respect. The newer pushes usually have a great understanding of the rig but to be a push you don't have to take any communications training and so they don't know how to deal with the people side of their job. Also you are away from your family most of the year, but that's a sacrafice you need to be willing to make.

Pros

Money. Some travel. Time off when summer comes.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Corrupt, egocentric management. Profit comes first, people last- in fact people are disposable here. If you value your carrer decisions, be warned, the money will not compensate you if your ruined here

Pros

14 days on 14 days off working from 12.5hrs a day and swapping between day and night shift every hitch. $35 a day perdiem + $25 a day when working in OBM. Make about $2.7k every two weeks after taxes, so 5.4k per hitch. Gross salary around 84k a year. Very safety conscious company with good equipment and most coworkers were good people to be around. More experienced coworkers were willing to teach and help out as long as I was willing to learn.

Cons

Some leadership personnel were very irritable and hard to get along with, but that's really at every job and company. There's always going to be people that you'd rather try to shove a wet noodle up a bobcats butt in a telephone booth than have to deal with, but it's best to just try to be easy to get along with and go with the flow than to stoop down to negative Nancy's level and put the whole crew in a bad mood.
