Falcon Drilling

You work Long hours and many weekends. Which is typical in the oil and gas field. I met my monthly and quarterly goals and was let go for no reason. I received no warnings, verbal or written, but somehow I was supposed to change how things were done.Those that did the terminating never took the time to find out what I did or didn't know. Toolpushers were not held accountable for safety on the rigs. I watched them time and time again stand there and let unsafe acts and conditions exist. Every Accident the company had was the fault of the safety team, even if the employee clearly violated a well documented policy or procedure. Management shoots from the hip with little thought to the outcome of their decisions. There are plenty of other jobs out there that come with more security, ease of mind, less stress, a better safety culture and more money. If I were you, I would keep shopping.

Just the right amount of hard work.  Next step working as a motorman, learning the other positions on a bigger rig.  Falcon has 3 super singles out in the field and tripping pipe/making connections is alot simpler than on a big rig, in many ways.  Most other operations are quite similar.  Management was consistent and for the most part helpful.  Coworkers were varied and good teammates.  Hardest part of the job was keeping everything organized.  Lots of folks at Falcon that don't understand how being orderly and consistent makes everyones, including your own, job easier and more enjoyable.


I learned to be stronger, more formidable, safer, and to look out for my teammates.

You could work there for years as I did and u get nothing. False promises is the falcon way. The best thing about falcon is there are a lot a really good people that work there and everyone of them would tell you the same thing.  It is a very unsafe place to work they will tell you that their accident rate is low and that is only because most accidents are swept under the rug. If I was you I would honestly take a lower paying job than go to falcon and if you decide to start there u will regret it. I promise u that. They have very few employees left that have been there for a long period of time because it is not worth no where to go but downward.

this company has helped me learn and grow to help and better my people skills as well as providing good customer service, also this company has taught me how to be neat and professional.

I loved working for Falcon they gave me a chance without experience and a criminal record. I remember sitting in the human resources office and asking the lady behind the desk for a chance, and her response was that she believed in people a chance. Then she told me when I started.

safety was a top priority. 12 hour shifts for a 2 week stretch with a 2 week stretch off. management was decent. hardest part of the job was the time away from family. the most enjoyable part of the job was the people I worked with,

Was A great Place to work and Learn the Oilfield ...Always met People that were good to work with...Got a long well with everyone...The hardest part of the Job was Tripping Pipe...

Hard work, long hours
Mentally stressful
Learned to cooperate with fellow workers
Provided necessary tools to accomplish Job

Enjoyed one week on one week off

Falcon Drilling is a poorly managed company from the top down.  They are interested in the bottom line only and not the people that work there.  They claim to have all kinds of work lined up but in actuality they are like everyone else and are just grasping at straws for work

The Oil and Gas Industry is very demanding when in a management position at a service company, and on call 24/7  You are always walking a fine line between making the client happy, keeping your employer happy, keeping your crews safe, and trying to spend time with your family.
