We are already broke by 7 Billion and it will not make any difference. NOGEN
NEXTGEN will make or break this company. No doubt.
Manufacturing was moved from Dallas to Houston and like a fool I made the decision to go. Then a few months later I was let go after selling my home for a loss and purchasing a new one. Run forest run.
Go look somewhere else They will promise you everything an than nothing when your hired on! Run from a ex employee 20 plus yrs They closed our manufacturing shop they promised they never would! Corporate decision
And these folks, if they accept a job offer or pay their dues through an internship, will get nothing because Weatherford is going to go bankrupt. Take a look at their balance sheet and go elsewhere.

Upon successful program completion, participants will have attained a well-rounded knowledge base of the Manufacturing landscape within Weatherford; and, acquired essential skills for a permanent role within Manufacturing.
Depends on your experience level. Advancement within company is nonexistent and pay raises are rare. If you need verifyable experience and ok pay till you find something better it couldn't hurt. If you are looking for a career then there are better companies.
Get ready they are gonna work the sh!t out of ya!!!! Been there done that......
Ask for a couple dollars more than what they offer you, you won't get a raise and be stuck with what you negotiate with.
Yes heres a suggestion try sticking hot needles in your eyes its less painful than joining this sorry a-- company
I feel so sorry and sad when I see people interview with WFT. They are so misled. I want so badly to wave them off. If you need a job then go for it. If you have opportunity elsewhere take that instead.
