apply at your own risk

Employee (Former Employee) - Windsor, CO - May 12, 2023

If you like a fast paced, ever changing work environment its a decent place to work. Overall great people to work with in the field, not great for individuals with families. Great benefits, poor communication. Mentality is to get it done no matter what. Doesn't matter if your on rotation or off rotation, your phone will go off for something they want you to do

Pros

Benefits

Cons

No work life balance, communication, excessive workload

Honestly one of the best places to work

Equipment Operator III (Former Employee) - Longview, TX Shreveport, LA - March 19, 2023

I started Schlumberger in Longview Texas in 2010 as my first oil field job fracing. I was an 24 year old 130 pound kid and the time I was there means so much to me. Not only the great people I’ve met, the places I’ve been while working there but, how close I became with my crew and the knowledge that they shared with me. I really wish SLB still had frac and I am now working with Liberty because it’s the closest thing to SLB frac I can get. LVX yard for life!

Pros

Great people, great Money

Cons

Being away from home.
