Running casing

Tong Operator (Former Employee) – Elk City, OK – April 24, 2018

Learn how to operate the tongs, work the v-door, a typical day on the rig was working 11-16+ hours a day. Workplace was friendly, hardest part was not seeing your family.

Franks does not care about family or family emergencies. They are not compassionate about there employee.

Shop Technician (Current Employee) – Lafayette, LA – February 20, 2018

Frank's Internatjonal is not family oriented and does not care about there employees. They do not give thier employees days off or consider family emergencies. They feel like you suppose to forget about your family until the work is done. If you have a family this job is not good for you. They send workers out of town with no suitable knowledge and they overwork the employees that are dedicated to them.

Cons

No time for family. No off days.

Rewarding Career

Casing Service Technician (Former Employee) – Bryan, TX – February 15, 2018

I loved working for this company. The experience that I gained from this company was invaluable. This company made a man out of me and which in return gave me the characteristics required to be successful.

Pros

Great pay

Cons

Little home life

Was this review helpful?Yes No 1Report

Good place but lack of mobility

Coordinator (Current Employee) – Lafayette, LA – December 13, 2017

Overall, Frank's is a good place to work, but if you're not an engineer or work in the field you really don't have a lot of places to go. Work/life balance leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the best healthcare benefits I've ever seen, so they have that working for them. Morale is low with have three CEOs in a year and multiple layoffs over the years.

Pros

Healthcare Benefits, Paid Holidays

Cons

Work/Life Balance, Instability

Good company

Quality Auditor (Current Employee) – Lafayette, LA – December 1, 2017

This is a good company that's a safe place to work. Management works well with employees to change the overall culture for the better. I've learned mostly on the job, but they are trending towards more organized and formal training. The hardest part of the job is moving up without being social, but I guess that's with any job right?

Pros

Good people to work with, regular hours, good benefits

Cons

No structure for advancement

Got to travel the world

Once great company. Now, not so great.

Assistant Manager Completions Department (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – November 1, 2017

Overall, a good place for 16 years, though the company became a more stressful workplace after going public in 2013.
Board of directors did a poor job of managing the company after going public.

Pros

Job security until they went public.

Cons

Poor job security after going public. Poor performance of upper management.

Good place to learn machining

CNC Mill Machinist (Former Employee) – Broussard, LA – October 13, 2017

I started there when the oilfield began laying people off. I learned a lot and a lot of people helped me when I ran into problems. The management expects good work and will let you know if it isn't up to par

Pros

Great training

Cons

You can make more somewhere's else once you learn the ropes

I had a wonderful time working for this company for 14 years it was a very family company

Shipping and Receiving Clerk (Former Employee) – Lafayette Louisiana – August 28, 2017

But I can say that I had a good time you had good days and bad days but we had a very good times everyone got along. Frank's International was a family company everyone was treated as a brother or sister

Fast paced but compensated well

Laydown Operator (Former Employee) – Williston, ND – July 16, 2017

Frank's is an interesting place to work. Then again the oil field in general is, I suppose. The pay was good when there was work. Work is dictated by national oil prices and fluctuates often. Management at my particular office was poor and cut every corner possible to make the most profit; sometimes at the expense of safety.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Little home/family/personal time, poor management

Frank's International, Rock Springs Wyoming

Office Manager's Administrator (Former Employee) – Rock Springs, WY 82901 – June 13, 2017

Management downsized our location. Otherwise we had a low turn-around rate and dedicated employee staff. Administrative staff and payroll administrators were professional and respondent to the organizational reporting processes. Location management was easy to communicate with and understand job completion requirements. We prided ourselves with a high rate of productivity and safe environment.

Office Manager (Former Employee) – Hobbs, NM – May 10, 2017

Good

Electrical Engineer III (Contract Project Manager) (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – May 2, 2017

My only regret is that I would have joined the team sooner. That way I could have more time with the company. I would have felt more comfortable during that lay offs so that I could have "sweat it out."

Challenging work environment - lots of opportunity

Ops (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – January 31, 2017

A typical day at work starts at 7:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm. There are lots of opportunities to take charge of challenges within the organization. Look for a senior executive to sponsor you.
