it alright place to work at but it hard to get a raise!!!
Equipment Operator - CDL A Hazmat & Tanker (Current Employee), Woodward, OK – March 20, 2013
Weatherford is good company to wok for but it has a lot of cons. There poor management, not organize, and not enough money. They need system where you advance in other positions .Most enjoyable part of job would have be when I get go home.

Good place to work if you don't care about being on a "need-to-know" basis, and poor management communication.
Great benefits, good money.

Good Stepping Stone- thats it.
Purchasing (Former Employee), Canada – March 11, 2013
Pros: good stepping stone to a better job.
Cons: poor leadership.
I was asked to do, unethical things during my time.

I caught one manager going through my desk and personal items (twice).

I was also told I should work more hours while I was working 16 - 19 hours a day at that time, instead of hiring replacement employees.

Good job security if you want the same job for long periods of time.

I learned a lot about – more... good and bad management skills. Not the whole time was bad I did have good manager for a short time, until he left. – less

Pros: friendly co-workers
Cons: management needs to be replaced
At Weatherford is extremely busy, but do to changing of new management it has gotten to the point that employees are quitting and it is a shame that upper management is not doing anything to retain the employees that have been there for more than 5 years.

storeman (Former Employee), Midrand – February 8, 2013
Pros: lunch
Cons: long hours when the is the new project
It is the wonderful organization to work for, I enjoy different challenges that I face daily as I am now dealing with minerals sight, oil sight and gas sight, I have learned different types of tools for diiferent sight, usage of JDE system and to be more discipline and dedicated not to do mistakes as most of this tools are much expensive. The hardest – more... part of this job is when there is the new project in other parts of Africa that I must prepare the tools, spares equipments for that operation. The most enjoyable part is that you worked un supervised at all times so you are the one who must make sure you finish your task you are assign for. – less

Not Worth it!!
Frac Operator (Former Employee), San Antonio, Tx – January 21, 2013
Pros: per diem
Cons: supervisors
Worthless Supervisors,
I quit only after a month working for Weatherford. While in training upper management would say how poor their supervisors are. I had come from Halliburton, being their for 2 years I can't believe Weatherford would allow to have these type of personalities in high positions. Hard working and career driven oil field workers quit – more... due to idiot Supervisors that Weatherford has in their Frac division. If u are working with another Frac company and you can survive with the pay you are making then I highly recommend you stay there. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Believe me.. Terrible Supervisors (Grey Group)..... – less

Another Case of Contractors being treated like dirt and employees who take advantage

Warehouse (Former Employee), Huntsville, Tx. – December 14, 2012
Cons: people, pay, hours, and management
Took a temp job in warehouse....pay was low...but average for this area. Perm employees constantly said I had to do better to "make it." When I started telling them it was ONLY temp for me....they left me alone....but snitched to management. When I injured my wrist picking up too heavy of an item (was required)....and called off to go to doctor....I – more... was let go. – less
