Decent job to get your foot in the door. - Mud Logger Geosearch Logging Employee Review

Pros

It is a good entry level position to get your foot. It is beyond easy work and the money is "decent." I say it is decent because most days I would do 2-3 hours of real work and then just sit around monitoring equipment for the rest of my shift. So it is not horrible for how little you work. Work flexibility is pretty decent to what I have heard from the larger service companies.

Cons

On the flip side the money is not that great for the amount of hours you actually put in. Decent money for just getting out of school (If that applies to you) Not a true day rate like others have mentioned. You are on wage but the amount of money you can make per pay period is pretty much capped like a salary. Be weary of empty promises from managers and especially from the VP.

Pros

Geosearch was bought out in October 2011 by Empirica. It's a solid company with good benefits and great people!

Cons

Workload can get heavy at times but that can happen anywhere.

Pros

Work throughout country. Empirica is a large company with financial backing.

Cons

No employee- company interaction. Many lies to keep you hanging. They claim they care about safety but the dollars are all they care about. I was put in a dangerous totally unsafe position and when I tried to get it corrected they replaced me witout even a phone call (1000 miles from my home). They aimed my taxes at a state I have never even stepped a foot in.They are known to not pay last checks.Took 401k out but I have never seen a statement. When it is slow they don't care if you work or not but will cut off your insurance. All employees are treated the same. No experience or many years of experience and degrees does not make a difference. They just brag on unproven technology. They will leave you hanging in a heartbeat. I was hanging without work for months. I agreed to work were I previously have worked until work picked up, I was emailed later and told this was my home base without even a discussion. 1000 miles away from my home. Rig broke down and i was hanging without pay for over a month.
