Pros

Just get the 3months-1yr experience and start looking for something else. Medical was a catch but getting expensive now

Cons

Stay away from the Interwood Houston district. Management is going to be against you if you call them out on any safety issues. Instead of concentrating on the job, they make you drive to another rig to pick tools/equipment to use for the job, instead of using a hotshot truck. Don't work here, they never seem to keep employees due to poor Coordinators/Management They reject overtime but still wants you to work overtime You get a lot of sleepless than and expect to carry out the job. Coordinators lack communications You don't get parts for the jobs on time They cut bonus and paychecks every 6months They hire a bunch of trainees and expect you to train them without incentives The moment you go against the coordinators, they will find some time to fire you. You work 24/7 but they only pay you 12 hrs for being gone and whatever months the jobs take. You are allowed to charge 13hrs per day being away on the job, anytime over 13hrs they reject it or question you why the overtime. Please, IMO stay away. This place is where you call the 'Toxic work environment'.

Pros

Great experience, especially if just starting out in oil and gas industry. Lots of industry-leading equipment/tech/etc.

Cons

If you can't handle long hours, harsh conditions (at times), and being away from home for long periods of time, this job isn't for you. My experience at Halliburton was also that many people feel like they're just a number in that management will make frequent (and often sweeping) changes to processes, workflows, engineering schedules, etc. Lots of bureaucratic hoops to jump through in order to advance through the three levels of Field Engineer before you can "break out" and really make good money.
