Pros

amazing field experience and a great company to work for in the early years with early responsibility a good pay package (with field Bonus for wireline)

Cons

once you grow, it is very dependent on relationships to grow in the company. Balance of life and family is negligble for continued line managment and moving is every 2 years which destroys stability.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
