- Clear sense of purpose
Great environment and benefits
Mechanic (Former Employee) - Williston, ND - September 3, 2023
Hands down one of the best companies I have had the pleasure of working for. The benefits for non-locals was the best I had received. However, there are not many benefits to being a local. The only benefit of being local was a small raise.

Good money and benefits while it last.
Frac Equipment Operator (Current Employee) - Gillette, WY - August 27, 2023
Only ones who move up is who supervisors like if ya not in clique your not moving up. Hard work at times also have easy times. Although the oilfield downtowns every 4 yrs so it's nothing to make a lifelong career out of.
Pros
Good benefits, descent pay
Cons
Management, Short hours

Management sucks.
Equipment Operator 3 (Former Employee) - Williston, ND - July 7, 2023
They promote individuals without the skills or knowledge to perform the tasks. The brain drain from losing so many coworkers to Liberty cause of low pay makes the job dangerous.

Great working environment and productive
Frac Operator (Former Employee) - 5028 Bennett Industrial Dr, Williston, ND 58801 - May 14, 2023
I enjoyed the team work, extraordinary leadership, equipment conditions, great benefits, work schedule was fair enough and safety was the first priority. I was working 14 or 34 days on and 7 days off with 15 hours nights and day shifts (shifts change after every 14 days) and bi-weekly pay. I am so great full to have a crew that is family to me with great working environment and working as one family. I will always treasure the opportunity as a Frac Operator and came across very good people with true friendship that I still do keep in touch with to date.
Pros
Great management, great leadership, great working conditions and environment with excellent pay.
Cons
None

Great place to work if you are liked by management
Supervisor 2 (Former Employee) - Williston, ND - April 26, 2023
Great to work if you can befriend management. Lots of gaslighting from office. They like to play the blame game if things go wrong. You won’t move ahead unless you’re friends with management.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Gaslighting is high

Good Company overall
Office Staff (Current Employee) - Colorado - April 11, 2023
This is a good company to work for overall. It is oil field so field work is up and down with market but we are stable now. Office Staff is not as appreciated or valued as much as they could be. Culture has struggled in the field and office recently with changes being made in Head office. Year end bonus can be good if it pays out.
Pros
Pto, bonus potential
Cons
Culture struggling, moving positions to Corp Head office, New Leadership

Good pay
Frac Operator (Former Employee) - Pa - February 23, 2023
The money is good but the time off isn’t enough if you’re a family man. The benefits are decent but family insurance is very expensive. It’s an oilfield company, if you’re familiar with one then you know them all
Pros
Money
Cons
No home life

The bad: 16 days on and only 4 days off before I resigned. The good: Safety, reasonable accommodations, good pay, good management before I resined.
Heavy Equipment Operator - Hydraulic Fracturing - Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Denver County, CO - January 8, 2023
This is a very physical work. All hydraulic fracturing companies are heavy physical work. If you are in your middle 50+ don't do it unless you have an understanding and an agreement from the beginning by the management about your limitations. This job is i all kinds of weather because you are working outside 99% of the time. If your assigned to work in states that are prone to freezing temperatures and snow, then may the Lord have mercy on you, because during winter in those states that really snow heavy you will get a huge and rude awakening in your cerebral cortex of what true pain and suffering is.

Better than average
Fracturing Operator 3 (Current Employee) - Williston, ND - December 27, 2022
As far as the oilfield goes its a good place to work. A decent culture, long days but mostly very good people to work with. Managment tries to keep up with industry pay.
Pros
pay, coworkers, operating their equipment can be fun
Cons
time away from family

Employee focused company with broken management
Frac Equipment Operator (Current Employee) - Williston, ND - July 14, 2022
Compensation is less than competitive. The benefits are acceptable. Culture is what you accept. Opportunities for advancement/raises depend on your supervisor but I've been lucky. The upper management is a joke.

People out for themselves
Employee (Former Employee) - Smithfield, PA - September 26, 2021
