Svantaggi
I got laid off because of the poor oil and gas economy right now; Halliburton laid off several thousands of people worldwide to make ends meet. I was in the fourth round of layoffs in the last two years. Fortunately, Halliburton does attempt to compensate you if you are laid off, but it almost feels like a betrayal because you pour yourself into the company and then find out you are disposable. I know I shouldn't take it personally, but I do. Other cons are difficult to list. I would say unfair vacation days. Halliburton gives two or three days off for Thanksgiving but only gives Christmas Day off, not Christmas Eve.
