Vantaggi
15% matching on your 401k (although it has a 5 year vest). 2 reviews per year, fitness center on campus -- and it's the nicest gym i've ever been a member of, many CHK sponsored events throughout OKC, always looking for the next big play.
Svantaggi
if you're in HR, IT, or work at the fitness center, this would be the ideal employer for all of the pros mentioned above. however, if you're working in land, geo, or engineering and happen to be in one of the busier plays, get ready. i've heard from industry peers the CHK is talked about as a sweatshop -- and i understand why. you're expected to be there early (before 8 am) and stay late (after 5:30) every day. very micromanaged. i've had a senior exec walk into my office and scold me for using 11.5 point font instead of 12 point font on a simple proposal letter that was going to a partner -- simply a formality. if you know somebody or grew up in the E&P industry, especially in OKC, you're made. if you don't, watch out. promotions and salaries are based upon who your family is and how well senior management is interested in you, regardless of work ability or intellect. as far as salaries go, they're across the board. every offer letter i've received in the last 2-3 months has been for 20-25% more annually with similar benefits...but i imagine there's not that big of a difference in other departments.
