Pros

There was some good hard working people there that made my experience worthy. When I started I actually had people that were qualified for the job and taught me how to do my job right.

Cons

Problem is the favoritism is AWFUL! Too much change and worked really hard on training the drivers how to behave properly while on our grounds. Safety!!! Was my top goal. It didn't matter! The few mistakes that were made didn't even compare to what went on at other scales.I remember when I started - they thought about their job; not who they can blame every mistake on. Even when it's not your fault. I was even wrote up for someone else's mistake. Management way is when --- the truth don't work in their favor confuse the issue. There was too much nonsense in the corp. office to actually feel safe in your position. I can't say it enough - TOO MUCH FAVORITISM!

Pros

Typically promote from within so there is always opportunity to move up compensation is good but not as good as oil and gas industry an international company so there is opportunity to get experience in other countries Open to new ideas to solve the same/new problems If you show potential, you will go far

Cons

they constantly like to change things up with the organizational structure and management. This results in less job security than you would expect from such a large company. The only way to move up in a big way is to be prepared to move around. As stated before, they like to mix it up with new blood all the time. Their bonus system is a carrot you will never be able to fully achieve. If your bonus potential is 30% of your salary, you can expect to hit only 50-60% of it. Even if you achieve all your objectives, there is no such thing as a full payout.
