worker (Former Employee), Fort Worth – May 16, 2012
You will do all the work. They will train you for 3 days and expect you to know everything. Instead of just letting you learn one thing at a time. Employees milk the clock. They will lie and say they forgot to clock in when they know they were late so you will change their time or clock them in when you do payroll. They clock out to go get their food – more... then clock back in then go to lunch. Be careful who you talk to or talk about. A lot of the employees are related to each other. – less
I am a former employee. We had an absentee Supv, and a E-tech lead ( whose grestest job experience was as a prison guard) that only knew how to harass, intimidate, buuy, and threaten everyone. There was prsctically no training.

Over promised
NA (Current Employee), Houston, TX – May 14, 2012
Pros: location
Cons: you got a pay check
Decent benefits although told one thing during interview in regard to responsibilities and no follow through. Older female manager had a horrible reputation and tended to intimidate others(especially those with out degrees and experience) . Didn't want to support training even if one paid out of pocket. Didn't pay rent for many facilities during market – more... crash. Horrible sign of management from the top down. – less
Intercompany Accountant (Former Employee), Houston, TX – May 11, 2012
Pros: overtime
Cons: overworked
In the accounting department it was always about staying on top our invoices. My duties lay with processing product invoices from international vendors on daily basis; checked to ensure invoice items completely received; entered amounts into statement for payment.

Beware of unfulfilled promises of training
Admin Clerk (Former Employee), San Antonio – April 15, 2012
Pros: other staff were great people.
Cons: full of empty promises.
Worked there for 3 months, did most of the work, as so called Sr. Admninistrator could only handle billing, while she milked overtime, took no lunch breaks, defied everything the DM told us not to do. During my interview I asked about training and was told yes I would be sent, only to be told 1 week prior to my dismissal that no one would be going to – more... any training. Yet, I was told I was not up to speed after I set up filing system, set up vendors, contracted cleaning company, cleaned dirty toilets, etc. etc. I was also told that the Sr. Admin & I were equals and management had "big things" in store for me. Boy, I fell for it!!!! Do not trust them. – less

Multinational Experience as HR and Competence Administrator
HR Advisor (Former Employee), Italy, and UK – April 12, 2012
My experience in Weatherford helped me developing and growing an International mind set. I have learned to work for a multicultural context, and developed communication skill for a wide level of interlocutors. I developed a professional attitude to work in a team and to make each project or implementation a learning experience, for to boost each team – more... member`s expertise.
The hardest part of the job was to be able to express, in one language, the job requirements and to put in one common shared web based system the International(Regional) requirements, linked to the domestic needs.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the exposure to a wide range of cultures and people. That developed my interpersonal and relational skills. – less

The area was hot in the summer but where can you be other then your house in the ac that isn't hot in the Texas summer and the winters – more... were cold not a controlled environment. But looking passed that it was awesome to know how the oil field really operates. – less
