Halliburton Employer Reviews

The pay, work enviornment, benefits and support structure are second to none.

I've been in the oil field for over 3yrs now and all I can say is " The pay is ok". Before I had this job I was making dam near to what I'm making now. Hours are long, pay is ok, benefits are ok, if your single this is the job for you. If you have a family prepare yourself for a divorce! Management don't listen to there employees and we work on their – more... equipment all day! They never hire enough people to cover any rigs. You never see your supervisors, the people you work with always talk behind your back like your in high school and they don't pay you enough. Instead of losing jobs or laying off people they cut your hours just so there department looks good. They give you 2 weeks of vacation time then when they start cutting cost they take away your vacation and your pay. You don't progress in the company unless you are friends with someone in the office. – less

I have very much enjoyed my experiance here and enjoyed the fast pace of working in the oilfield service industry. Every day is a different experiance and each job you are faced with new challanges that have to be overcome. The hours can be rough but once you are used to waking up at odd times it just becomes another day.

most days i drove over 400 miles and was ona job from a few hours to a few days.
I learned how to operate a pump truck and also obtained my cdl
Management for the most part were decent and knew what was going on
all my co-workers were good hard working guys willing to help you out when needed.
the hardest part of the job was being up for 20 plus hours – more... at a time and being away from my family for anywhere from 2 to 5 days at a time all the time.
i enjoyed working out side and driving the trucks. – less

Great company to work for, Great people, you can grow with the company

Great place for training and on the job experience. Culture is very safety oriented, and fellow employees are willing to help with problems you may have. As with many oilfield service providers, environment is fast paced and hours may be long.

Halliburton is great if all you're concerned with is money. They have no regard for their employees as people and the district manager continually reminds you of that fact during the entire term of your employment. Halliburton is not a good company if you want a life and family.

I work as a lab tech testing and designing cement slurries, frac fluids, and acid designs. I had no previous experience before this job, but Halliburton fully trained me. I have made many new friends working here. It can be a bit stressful at times with the workload, but realistically it makes the day go by pretty fast. The pay could be better for the – more... importance of our job. I have learned many valuable skills I can utilize in future professions in the oil and energy industry. – less

A very un-american company. No bid contracts, cheated our US soldiers out of good food, healthy water and armor all for the allmight dollar. I personally know of someone they let go after they needed one more week to vest. They claimed there was too many barrels of oil lost.Dont know what they told to the insurance company. Anyway Let go after 2 years – more... of 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off living in a metal shipping container.Only I week to vest and was fired and didnt even get the other two years prorated money set aside that was earned by two years as an employee that should of been vested..well if it had been any other oil company. All you young men. Dont waste your time with Haliburton if they will screw an American soilder for the almight dollar dont think it will happen to you. Just look around these smaller companies they are much better and care more. Haliburton has gotten too big to care about any little guy. Start with a smaller company and build it from the ground up. You have better chance at being heard , your input will matter. Just not at Haliburton. Dont believe me just check out the several documentaries on this company. Its bad – less

I review the 3 highest priority tasks that I assigned the day (I set up tasks for a day on the day prior). If these are still the topmost priorities' tasks during the day, I pick the one that I want to do the least and try to knock it out first thing in the morning before any meetings or the distractions start. This helps me get over the biggest obstacle – more... of the day and set the mood of accomplishment for the remainder of the day.

I accept a challenge; repetitive tasks come easy for me. I am not objective to these tasks but rather am focused on completing the task to the best of my ability.

Each manger teaches me something new. If the manager is good, I learn what is good about work, when the manager is bad, I learn what is not good in work. Every manager has something new in them, and everyone of them has acted as a mentor in bringing out something in me.

The hardest part of my job is finding out who I am and what it is I have to offer, and to communicate that value to others in a clear manner.

The most enjoyable part of my job is being surrounded with my team members as a family. We laugh and support each other, which makes a job worthwhile. And, at the end of the day, we go our separate ways with the fulfillment that we have accomplished something positive during the day. – less

The title says it all. Long hours for a pay level below the industry average.

i learned how to build down hol drills and xl motors as well as sperry drill motors and other oil and gas industry tools.

A typical day at work is lots of hours and getting dirty. I learned how to frac. Management gives us all the information we need to get our job done. Co-workers are easy to get along with. The hardest part of this job is being away from my family for two whole weeks. The most enjoyable part is working to provide for my family.

Was working as an MWD/LWD. I was usually off 3-4 days tops between jobs. Great job for single guys or young adults out of high school. Alot of time away from home, but you get paid very well and also great bonuses if you complete jobs before TD date. Benefits are very good and also great retirement package. No longer working for them due to the huge – more... drop of oil (from $140 to $35). – less

I learned that it was never about worh ethic. It was about your connections at halliburton. I laid off so they could keep the plant manager's step-daughter.Politics!!

Tried applying for many of their entry level positions for the past two years. Many of these positions asking for mechanical experience. 20 years in the military 14 of them as a heavy equipment mechanic. Not sure how much more experience a person needs? Not sure what their qualifing as entry level within their company?

Provide customer service to oilfield workers while maintaining inventory. Learned new computer program SAP. Reset product and provide new labeling system. Provide administrative services while developing a new electronic filing system. Prepare warehouse documents for end-of-year and new year hard-copy filing system. Hardest part of the job is utilizing – more... 1/10th of my knowledge, skills and abilities. Good part is my Supervisor is using my skills and allowing the opportunity to streamline warehouse processes. – less

The hours are LONG! The work is HOT! The pay is not bad. The benefits are STELLAR!

The opportunity to advance is limited to those with a degree only. If you are a worker looking to work your way up...you may as well forget it.

I have heard a lot of bad things about Duncan Hospital but i have yet to have a bad experience there. I would very much like to show my ability to be a team player and do whatever comes my way. I love a challenge.

nice active environment
good employees
good benefits
hours became difficult
