Pros

Nice coffee machine and you might have your own office

Cons

Toxic leadership – Leadership prioritizes pleasing upper management and often takes credit for others’ work. In some cases, employees have been terminated just weeks after joining without valid reasons. Some managers lack true leadership skills, communication, and empathy they provide no real feedback loop, give zero room for mistakes, constantly criticize, and drive employees by fear, all while pretending to be supportive in front of others. Honestly, many of them would be better suited as individual contributors rather than managers. Management heavily favors certain individuals and maintains an “inner circle,” creating an unfair and exclusionary environment. No work-life balance – Employees are expected to be available at all times. You’re given a phone, and requests come in via direct messages during evenings, weekends, and even while you’re out of office.

Pros

The benefits were excellent, including medical, dental, and vision coverage. When I was hired in 2010, PTO was determined by a combination of age and tenure. By the time I left in December 2016, I had accumulated about five weeks of vacation.

Cons

In 2017, upper management decided to close the Tyler, TX division, which had been operating for at least 17 years. I had planned to retire from EOG, but that decision changed everything. I was given the choice to relocate or be laid off. Because I could not afford the cost of moving, I was laid off, which had a significant negative impact on my life. It took me more than two years to find another job in the oil and gas industry in Tyler, TX.
