Pros

Great opportunity and benefits. They provided great safety training. They also provided CDL training.

Cons

Oil prices dictate the amount of work for the company and unfortunately there was a reduction in workforce and I was laid off. Long hours subject to the weather make for great overtime, but make it difficult to be home at a regular time to help with family life. Halliburton did take away the paid week off that I was receiving when first hired. They also reduced the per diem from $35 down to $25 per day.

Pros

Halliburton looks strong on the outside, especially on a resume, and the brand name still carries weight in the industry. Some teams work on interesting projects, and if you get a fair manager, you can learn a lot about large-scale B2B operations.

Cons

If you land under the wrong manager, performance improvement plans (PIPs) can be used as a weapon, not a coaching tool. I was put on a PIP that contained inaccurate claims even after I shared detailed evidence and context. I provided several solid pieces of documentation to HR to rebut the accusations, yet nothing meaningful was investigated or corrected in my case. HR felt more like a shield for management than a neutral party. In my experience, they protected internal politics instead of looking at facts and evidence. There is a culture of quiet compliance. Many people stay 10+ years because the pay and brand are “safe,” but they are hesitant to challenge unfair treatment or speak up about toxic behavior. Corporate hierarchy is heavy, and real decisions seem to depend more on who is backing your manager than on actual performance or documented facts.
