Pros

TerraTek is owned by Schlumberger, so if you are willing and able to move, there are plenty of opportunities for growth. Working environment is highly concerned with safety and employee protection from high pressure and high temperature equipment. Employees are professional and courteous.

Cons

"In-fighting" among divisions within the company can make getting things done difficult on occasion. This may be a result of lack of financial and growth support from upper management. Not much room for upward growth within the company. Stagnant pay and benefits slowly being eroded. Mentorship, relevant training, and direct management support are lacking or absent.

Pros

Supportive management, interesting work, team environment. Everyone helped everyone.

Cons

Schlumberger dissolved the team environment here, no support and started treating everyone like idiots. Micromanaging from distant and unrelated staff who had never been in the field, to SLC or in the industry in general. Massive unrelated red tape to get anything done. everyone left

Pros

Use to be good company to work for with great people. Over the last two years that has all changed. One pro is that Utah is a great place to live.

Cons

The reputation of this company has gone downhill. Innovation has turned into button pushing with poor service to our clients. Good people who have helped build this company are replaced by SLB expats that have little respect for employees or experience in our specific market. HR and Training is a joke, they are rude, offer no support and you fear retaliation from the very people/department put in place to support employees. We saw a manager of many years get fired in retaliation for pointing out data problems and hostel work environment. We also see people held accountable for things that happened when they were in other positions/departments, it's like they are set up to take the fall so those in favor can advance. You have experts in place that have no business being in those positions, they are hurting our reputation and have been promoted by deception.
