serious and high presure work environment
Research and development engineer Mechanical (Former Employee), Tewkesbury – December 11, 2012
Pros: allowed to be creative and a good bunch of people to work with
Cons: long hours and very physically demanding work
A typical day would start at 8am and finish at 5pm. I would get in check emails and head down to the shop floor to continue with what ever testing or rigging work for testing was required. I learnt how to deal with complex problems and manage people. The most enjoyable part of the job was when an idea or design worked and the results from the testing – more... were usable and coherent. – less

Very fulfilling & challenging employment
Mudlogger (Former Employee), Denton, TX – May 18, 2013
The work day was busy, and sometimes long, I enjoyed my job and all the different aspects that it entailed. Sometimes the other employees did not do their respective jobs and you have to do them for the betterment of the team, but overall the job was a very fulfilling.

Hire then fire you 21 days later.

Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
Husband got hired on(will not say what division). He worked 21 days and out of nowhere, he comes back from lunch and was told he was fired.
They gave no explanation as to why. All he could say was "it's done"..

SLANDER is their main thing. They will bad mouth – more... you to each and every employer that calls to verify that you worked there. – less

Have to know someone
Field Specialist (Former Employee), Pearland, TX – May 10, 2013
Pros: compensation, benefits
Cons: advancement, management, unorganized
Thought it would be great, but management is awful. They don't care about their employees. I was laid off and less experienced people who were all friends kept their jobs. Pathetic operation.

BRITANY – 13 May 2013

Sounds like exactly what happen to my husband. He was hired on for 21 days and was terminated. No explanation whatsoever. They think they are one of the top oilfield companies, NOT with all these reviews. Pathetic employees from the President down! Someone needs to get a class action lawsuit started on them.

Don't do it
Former Employee (Former Employee), Houston, TX – April 25, 2013
Pros: offers vast online and in classroom training courses on various topics
Cons: very bureaucratic, antiquated work culture. poor communication
In my experience, this company is terrible. There is an extreme lack of communication on all levels within this company - from co-workers on up to management and HR. Almost everyone I've dealt with on the job had very poor follow up skills. My manager was the most spineless person I've ever worked for in my career. Most of the managers at the company – more... will leave you to question how they became managers.

Other things to consider before taking a job with Weatherford:

*Salaried employees who are paid bi-monthly only earn 3.33 hours of vacation per pay check (so you don't even earn a full 8 hours of vacation per month).

*Unlike non-exempt employees, salaried employees are not given sick/personal days as part of the benefits package. You must rely on your manager to give you the ok to take sick days. This can become a problem if you have a manager who wants to you use your vacation for any day you're out sick.

*No flex-schedule (alternative Fridays); unless of course you end up with a lenient manager. But don't count on it.

Overall, my experience is that this company does not value its employees. People are easily disposal at Weatherford. – less

Un-inspired and severe lack of management
quality assurance (Current Employee), Houston, TX – April 6, 2013
Pros: good benefits
Cons: management, pay, hours, poor plant conditions.
Terrible company to work for. Work for their stator manufacturing facility and I must say that this place is runn by a bunch of bozo the clowns. There is no direction with what your job duties are, no discipline and absolutely NO MANAGEMENT whatsoever. Pay is bad, morale is bad, and the professionalism of the management team there to include Plant, – more... Production, Quality and HR managers is pitiful! Good co-workers though. The hardest part of my job is finding the strenght to subject myself to this abuse on a daily basis. – less
