Rowan Companies reviews about "benefit"

Constantly hiring outside the organization rather than promoting from within. Poor communication between management and employees.

Long hours and schedule is misleading 21 on 21 off

Don't let managers do their job

Disconnect between office team and field team

* The responsibilities increased because I'm now performing additional duties of two other employees who are no longer with Rowan * No title or compensation change accompanied the additional responsibilities * Management and career development are SEVERELY lacking * After 4 years with no pay change, I finally got a small raise this year... only to have it clawed back when the company announced an end to the pension program (5% of pay) AND a reduction in the 401(k) match (now a 5% match instead of 6%) * There are limited opportunities for advancement * The available opportunities tend to be awarded to white men, especially those who have a social or family connection to the (current or former) CEO * Although I believe it's subconscious, there is a bias towards hiring & promoting men. Despite all the talk and goals to the contrary, it doesn't feel like diversity is actually a priority. * Employees in junior technical roles and support staff roles do not qualify for any sort of bonus * We're strongly discouraged from discussing compensation and benefits. Presumably this is because there are massive discrepancies among people in similar positions. * CEO is streamlining the company, but at the cost of employee morale. -Will there be more layoffs? -Will we have more benefits reduced? -Will I ever get considered for a promotion? -Is the guy with the same title & experience as me really making as much money as the anonymous reports on Glassdoor (because I'm making about 35% less than that!)? -Are the rumors about moving to a PTO model accurate (a reduction in total paid days off)?

Travel hazards environment leadership bonuses

Not a good culture which starts with senior managers.

Lot of layoffs due to downturn in oil market.

Likes to keep people based on seniority instead of talent.
