Pros

There is more job security as many of the projects are longer term or maintenance contracts.

Cons

The pay is lower than other comparable companies within the oil,energy and gas service industry. Depending on your craft there may or may not be any room to move up. As many employees in this industry are aware the organizational culture varies greatly from site to site depending on management and in my case QC. They determine the type of environment the site will have. Sometimes it is very pleasant but as you move to other projects(sites) it can be very cut-throat, unfriendly and based primarily on achieving the most output from welders and pipe fitters.

Pros

Some other employees were friendly.

Cons

Human Resource personnel on site in small CT office (1 wo/man show)and even in corporate office need to be re-educated on ethics, harassment, discrimination and in general and basic employment laws in general how to treat employees as human beings. No trust. Even if you quit, if new employer calls to verify employment do not be surprised if they say you were terminated. Fair warning.
