Pros
Excellent benefits and severance packages.
Cons
A Managed Limited Partnership with no leadership. The leadership running this company is comprised up of bankers and New York businessmen, not Oil & Gas Professionals. They know how to move and manage money, but due to the nature of the tax shelter side of the business, funds are incredibly mismanaged. Atlas receives funding from people who are avoiding paying taxes, they have time constraints to spend the money within allotted IRS guidelines and therefore spend money drilling assets they do not fully understand geologically and operationally. Millions of dollars are drained into sub-par basins, i.e. the Marble Falls and Mississippi Lime basin, with little to no thought on operational costs and expenses.
