Fast paced, goal oriented, good leadership, shy company
Operations Analyst (Current Employee), Houston – February 15, 2013
Pros: $2 lunch, free coffee, free soda, bonus, 9/80 schedule, medical benefits
Cons: computer equipment outdated, still use blackberry, uncomfortable breakroom
BHPB is a fast growing company and is going through a few growing pains right now. HR department is lagging behind a little due to the growing population. Departments are moving floors every month with all the growth and there are a lot of project improvements in the works.
Hardest part of the job is following direction from multiple supervisors. Supervisors – more... are great, but sometimes the chain of command isn't followed.
Communicating with different people from all walks of life is the best part of my day. My job allows me to walk the building and not sit behind a desk for hours. – less

Maybe Better if in Another Location
Senior HR Specialist (Former Employee), Houston, TX – December 26, 2012
Pros: pay is good, but after a while, it isn't enough
Cons: highly political environment, "don't trust anyone" mentality
Houston office is very different from other office locations. You will note most of the reviews for the Houston office are lower ratings that the others. I also worked temporarily in several other locations and the Houston office has a negative, overly political, high stress atmosphere unlike the others.

Good benefits, not so good management
Senior Supply Chain Specialist (Current Employee), Houston, TX – March 31, 2012
Pros: $2 for all you can eat lunch in cafeteria, great pay.
Cons: big brother is watching atmosphere, monitor your time, and all internet usage.
Overly competitive environment where people will do just about anything to get recognition, including defaming others to make themselves look better and taking credit for work they didn't perform.

Miss the income
HD Concentrator Mechanic (Former Employee), Miami, AZ – January 4, 2012
Pros: four day work week
Cons: fifty miles from my home
The job schedule was the best I ever had as it was a four ten schedule leaving me with a three day weekend every week. The pay was supplemented with "shoulder to shoulder" policy giving me equal pay to what the contractors earned.

Good Company to work for.
Condion Monitoring Analyst (Current Employee), Northern Cape , Hotazel – February 14, 2013
Our management always leads by example.Respect among co-workers is our highest value.A typical day would be like ,safety talk first with the team,get job cards and priotise duties for the day.Report after the day's work back to the supervisor.Hardest part is that you must be able to work under pressure and still deliver.It is always good to look back – more... and see that your hard work had pay off. – less
