Good company, well established, opportunities
Field Pro 2 (Current Employee), Henderson, TX – February 24, 2013
Pros: pay, bonus, co. truck and expenses
Cons: 24 hr call, drilling rig problems..ie..long hours
Good company to work for. Pay is excellent as are benefits. As a drlg fluids engineer i didn't work closely with other Halliburton employees. Worked mostly on my own. The 24 hr on call was somewhat stressfull and long hours.
Best part of the job was not having a direct manager to deal with on a daily basis and the schedule. 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off – more... or 1 week on and 1 week off. – less

Long work hours
Certified Quality Assurance Lab Technician (Former Employee), Bossier City LA – February 19, 2013
Pros: good benefits
Cons: excessive time away from family, and spiritual responsibilities
Good place to work for a single man in my opinion.
Plus side of the business was it introduced you to other fields of operation. But when it comes to oil field work, it requires a lot of your personal time.

productivity
operator assisntant I coiled tubing (Current Employee), Maturin Venezuela – February 14, 2013
Pros: good payment
Cons: long hours
A typical day at work starts at 7 am and ends at 4pm. A security meeting takes place before any actvity, and the supervisor or the person in charge is who assigns any duty. The best part of my job is that every single day is different and the fact of being in a group trying to figure out possible solutions to any problem is amaizing. The hardest part – more... of it, on the other hand, it is when the job takes place on location. On location, a typical day starts at 7 am and ends at 7pm, it lasts 12 hours. – less

Okay place if you love to work
Production Enhancement Engineer (Current Employee), TX – February 12, 2013
Pros: good bonus, benefits, job security, self direction encouraged
Cons: too much red tape when getting equipment, frat mentality
Look forward to long odd hours and not too much direction. Need to be a self directed worker because you will not get much help from others. 90 + hour weeks no exaggeration, alot of travel.

Flawed management strategy
Lead Logistics Specialist (Former Employee), Houston – February 9, 2013
Whereas compensation and hours are excellent, there are a number of flaws with the way the company goes about business. Not all departments were as backwards as mine was though.

Busy work environment with many responsibilities
Janitor (Former Employee), Rock Springs, WY – February 4, 2013
Pros: lunches, breaks, education, was great. set schedule was nice.
Cons: dirty job cleaning up after busy oilfield guys.
The over work experience was great had its good and bad parts. The worst part of the job was people were rude and inconciderate to the cleaning staff and would leave us with some nasty, and I mean nasty chores to do. The most enjoyable part of the job was most of the people there.

Halliburton offers plenty of stability but do not promote from within very well.
Sr. Methods Analyst (Current Employee), Houston, TX – January 30, 2013
Pros: flexible workshift, benefits
Cons: management, moral of employees, recognition of employees
A typical day consist of training employees on new mfg. tools, approvals of Engineering Task, procedures and specs. I'm learning the financial impact of material, people and time required to build a quality product. Management turn over rate is very high here I'v been here 6 years and have had 7 different supervisors, 4 business unit managers and 4 – more... different vice presidents of mfg.. It would be great to have management that knows the business and not have a chip on there shoulders like you are beneath them. Management gets all of the credit and are promoted when its the people who do the job that should get some credit for the work they do. I have some great coworkers and some not so great coworkers. Most work hard and are willing to do what it takes to move product out of the door with very little recognition from manaement or being promoted. The hardest part of the job is watching the moral of my fellow employees take a downward turn and the3 most enjoyable part of the job is being to work on a lot of different tools gaining valuable experience as well as the relationships that I've developed with my coworkers – less

good company to work for
Senior Electronics Technician (Current Employee), Houston, TX – January 28, 2013
Pros: employee benefits
Cons: under paid
I enjoy working for Halliburton. My typical day requires me to evaluate a test rack that I built or I am in the process of building, or revolve around troubleshoot any PCB's that might have failed testing and train personnel on the troubleshooting and testing procedures.

I get to talk to my management on a daily basis and they provide good feedback – more... on my quality of work. My coworkers are great and provide a positive atmosphere to work in as well.

I would have to say the most challenging part of my job is trying to learn the new test systems and work with the engineers to get the proper corrections that are needed required tom make the systems work. This is also the most enjoyable part of my job as well. I am constantly learning during this process which allows me to try harder and take greater pride in the work that I am doing. – less

good career
service supervisor (Former Employee), Bossier City Louisiana – January 24, 2013
Pros: healthcare
Cons: being away from family days at a time
A typical day at work is not knowing what challenges you may have instore for you but overcoming them. I learn how to work through problems when jobs do not go as plan, but always finding a safe and a good solution for the crew to get the job done. I liked my co worker and they thought highly of me. The hardest part of my job was being away from my – more... family days at at time. The most enjoyable part of my job were the guys i worked around. – less

To many Lazy employees and they will set you up to get fired.
Service Leader/ Special Projects Leader (Former Employee), Odessa,texas – January 24, 2013
Halliburton is just too darn rich they know that you are a number and they throw their good employees away like trash. They are also too lazy to conduct an investigation.

Especially in the Odessa area there is no Human Resources or Management there.

DON'T WORK IN MIDLAND ODESSA THEY WILL SUCK YOU IN AND SPIT YOU OUT.

Great team work atmosphere
Senior Warehouseman (Current Employee), Williston, ND – January 22, 2013
Pros: great benefits
Cons: payroll problems
Long hours which was fine with me. The training program was good but was always hard to get the training needed. I had two excellent managers above me who really cared about production but also cared about there employees and their families. I have enjoyed my time with Halliburton and was able to climb the ladder a little but I feel that I had plateaued – more... out with them and would not go any higher even though my skill set would of allowed me too.

Great company but for someone who has a little bit higher goals and wants to learn more and do more, I don't think that it was a good fit. However I have no regrets Halliburton was a great place to start if someone is considering them as an employer I would have to say they will take good care of you.

The most enjoyable part of the job would be working with so many professional people to acheive common goals in a professional environment. – less
