Hey everyone, I'm considering applying at PF and if I get hired I would want to move my family from Idaho to ND. I want to get some real world opinions on them as a company. Do they stay busy? How is the housing? Basically, would it be a smart move to pack up and leave what I have? I've driven over there so I know what I'm doing. I would think I have plenty of experience. Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

 

They advertise on their website that $70-90k is very doable in a first year. Is the top part of that realistic? My whole goal in going over there is to make enough to pay off a bunch of debt pretty quickly. I want to stay long term but if I'm not making close to $2,000 a week then I'm going to have a hard time seeing the point of uprooting my life and a career in law enforcement to do this. Also, do any of their housing accommodations allow dogs?

 

I understand that, and I plan on doing that very thing this Wednesday at a job fair they are hosting. What I have found in my time working in the oil fields though is that people will tell you anything to get you there. My goal here is to separate fact from fiction. People that actually work, or have worked for them are my best source of information. If you are referring to the dog question then I was just trying to get a quick answer here. I'm not trying to circumvent the system.

 

Ya, I saw a lot of that when I was there before. The only reason I left was because my son was born but he'd be coming with me this time so it should be fine. I'm from a small town in northwest Montana so the isolation and cold are not a problem for me. I HATE living in a city right now and would love to get out again.
