Pros

Cons
Travel, job security
Learning experience.
Class A CDL Driver / Driller / Estimator (Former Employee) – Stockton, NJ – February 22, 2018
It was an experience. I did learn about the drilling industry. Recieved a license i would not have had otherwise. There were no long term benefits . So leaving was good.
Quick passed always busy doing something

Not a bad place to work management is awsome. They understand that you have a life outside of work and will do there best to make sure you can be there for your famiky if you need to be.

Good place to work at
Derrickman (Former Employee) – Odessa, TX – December 28, 2017
I wouldn’t mind going back to work for precision Drilling. I would recommend friends to work there. Good job schedule 14-14. Good Rigs to work on and precision drilling cares about their employees
pretty good place to work if your a single person.
floorhand (Former Employee) – Eunice, LA – December 25, 2017
I didn't work at Precision Drilling for very long. I only worked there about a year & a few months in all. I guess it was a pretty decent place to work. It kind of seemed hard for advancement. I guess there was just too many competitive employees that worked around me! Too much "DOG EAT DOG" or "BACKSTAB THE OTHER MAN" issues going on inside the company. Besides all of the safety paperwork, that's about the only real problem I had with the company the whole time that I worked there.
Pros
you work around fairly nice people.
Cons
way too much paperwork even as a rig hand.
Great company for the drilling industry.
Electrical Foreman (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – December 18, 2017
This was my favorite company to work for, until I went to work for my current employer. Were it not for the downturn in O&G, I'd probably still be there. They had a collaborative team environment, valued their employees and empowered them. Not many companies these days realize their employees are their most valuable asset.
Pros
Great workplace culture, safety culture and strong leadership.
Cons
Occasional long hours; but that's oil and gas.
Productive
FLOOR HAND (Former Employee) – Cresson, TX – December 11, 2017
The company was and is a great company to work for and the pay was great for the work we did I mena its the oilfield and your working on a drilling rig and they stress safety to the max . Be safe go home to your family.
Awesome Company
Floor/Derrick Hand, Driller/Superintendent (Former Employee) – Shreveport, LA – November 17, 2017
This is a great company to work for! There was nothing about this job that i didn't like. I wish i could have stayed working with this company. Management team was awesome!
Pros
competitive pay
Cons
none
Good money but not a stable job
Derrick Hand/Floor Hand (Current Employee) – Williamsport, PA – October 29, 2017
This company provides great money and benefits but the fact that you never know if you are going to have work one day or be laid off the next is the bad part of this company. Overall descent company to work for.
Great company. They arnt afraid to move someone up of they think hes ready.
Derrick Hand/Floor Hand (Current Employee) – Midland, TX – October 27, 2017
8 months went from floors to derricks. Never been moved this fast at nabor,nomac,Trinidad, or savanna. Best drill company iv worked for in my 5 years in this beautiful mess.
Pros
Off half the year, good pay, quick advancement.
Cons
Gone half the year
Good company
Motor hand (Former Employee) – Colorado – October 6, 2017
Good company to work for , i worked in Colorado, digging was fast and was expected to be that way, all unibores. Money was changed back to rocky mt division pay after the first few hitches where we were still getting ND pay. So that sucked, but otherwise good iron, good people
Pros
Good Iron
Cons
the normal.
Good people
Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Williston, ND – September 18, 2017
Equipment was a little outdated, making it difficult to compete with more modern companies. The managers were decent people, however they were often out of touch with the Williston location. I never even met my boss face-to-face the whole time I worked there. They were also plagued with lots and lots of injuries, near misses and other safety related issues.
Enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere
Receptionist (Former Employee) – Eunice, LA – September 15, 2017
It was a very enjoyable/relaxed place to work and was hoping to be hired permanently. Unfortunately, there was not a position available and they have since closed that office. It was really interesting to me, as I had never worked for the oil industry. The company had land and offshore rigs.
Pros
Breakfast and lunch were provided on a regular basis from various sales reps
Cons
Bored at times
Good place to work hard and earn a good living for your family.
Floor Hand/ Roughneck (Current Employee) – Midland, TX – August 17, 2017
Although a tough and dangerous work environment, Precision targets towards working efficiently, but always with the goal of eliminating injuries alltogether.
Pros
Their priority is safety first.
Cons
None. - Just be ready to work.
Good pay bad management
