Productive and fun workplaced
AMO Electronic Technician II - Fluent (Former Employee), Broussard, LA – January 16, 2013
Pros: great benefits and plenty of work and hours available

Great company but....
Field Specialist- Lead Hand (Current Employee), North Dakota/ Bakken – January 7, 2013
Pros: pay, benefits, co-workers
Cons: time spent away from home
BH is a great company, but working as an MWD is not for everyone. If you don't mind being away from home at least 75% of the time, and living on an oil rig, then this is the job for you. Great pay, great benefits, horrible home/ social life.

Supervision cares only about themselves
Field Operator (Current Employee), Clarksburg WV – December 20, 2012
Pros: benefits & 401k
Cons: lack of management & work with unqualified personnel
If you like working with co-workers without OSHA training & are looking to get crippled or killed this is the company for you. Values profits over personnel. A revolving door of inexperience and incompetence.

Chubby1 – January 10, 2013

Dear all, I worked with a "man" that used to be a Sales Manager at a Uniform Company. He was so full of himself and had the biggest ego and bald head and fat body with stubby fingers. He thought he was going to make it rich in the real estate business turning houses and that is all he spoke about, instead of training the people he was working with at this Uniform company. He ended up somehow getting a sales job at Baker Hughes and he is the biggest idiot. He can't get any work done because he is on the phone with his wife 24/7, either she calling him or he is calling her. I could tell you more but the bottom line is he got hired on in Tulsa with Baker Hughes and I don't know how he schmoozed his way in there. I wouldn't buy anything from him, I guarantee all he wants is to get on the golf course and talk about boning his wife. I know this from several people that have dealt with him and were mortified. Wonder if he ever got his turn and burn of real estate going as it was his dream to not have to really "work".
