There is always something new to learn along with a challenging environment.
Material Handler (Current Employee), Victoria, TX – March 7, 2013
A typical day can be challenging and learning something new is often. I have learned to not only manage a warehouse and its procedures, but also to accomplish many tasks on Oracle. Also to learn the many parts that are used in compression. The co-workers are friendly and professional and the hardest part of the job is dealing with last minute orders. – more... Most enjoyable would have to be friday payday. – less

Stay away if you can help it!
Field Service Technician (Current Employee), Fort Smith, AR – February 15, 2013
Pros: good pay
Cons: poor benefits, expensive healthcare, lots of on-call hours, no life, dramatic
Exterran is an ok place to work with some good people working there. Mostly, it's a dramatic place to work, and jobs are highly unsecure. Employees are constantly worried about losing their jobs and job cuts. There are lots of night calls and old, junky equipment company wide, so lots of hours away from home. NO JOB/ HOME LIFE BALANCE! Your job is your – more... life! It does pay well, but if you want to have any kind of freedom, whatsoever, it isnt the job for you. We are on call 24/7 every other week, and weeks off call we usually travel. FYI. – less

Turnover High
N/A (Former Employee), Houston, TX – August 1, 2012
Pros: close to home
Cons: no respect for ideas
fell apart with "new management" in 2007, does not like new ideas, only wants to bring in high paying positions and no concern for lower workers. Spends too much money on surveys and don't see what is actually going on.
