Pros

Health benefits. That's about it.

Cons

When I started working here, my manager told me I would be hired on from a contractor position in six months. Two years later I was finally hired on. HR took away overtime without notification. Notification had to come from a colleague. Other benefits were unjustly taken away. If you like kissing up to upper management, you'll go places. Directives come from headquarters without any regard for what division offices say. I.E. 'my way or the highway'

Pros

The benefits were excellent, including medical, dental, and vision coverage. When I was hired in 2010, PTO was determined by a combination of age and tenure. By the time I left in December 2016, I had accumulated about five weeks of vacation.

Cons

In 2017, upper management decided to close the Tyler, TX division, which had been operating for at least 17 years. I had planned to retire from EOG, but that decision changed everything. I was given the choice to relocate or be laid off. Because I could not afford the cost of moving, I was laid off, which had a significant negative impact on my life. It took me more than two years to find another job in the oil and gas industry in Tyler, TX.
