great company if you know someone

always hiring but not the best stay (Former Employee) – Odessa, TX – November 13, 2018

this is a typical you can get a job at if you know someone
is more of who u know than what u know..

the company as many others you're just a number making money for them
while you make a check

salary isn't that bad
hours are alright

but they have so many internal *** that all they claim on training as soon u step a foot in the reality is gone!!

Pros

paycheck

Cons

management

Toxic work atmosphere

NA (Former Employee) – Odessa, TX – September 26, 2018

You WILL get yelled at at least 5-10 times a week. This is their preferred way of management across the board. You feel as if you’re constantly walking on thin ice; one mistake and it’s thrown in your face. Management is very cliquey with certain people in dispatch. You will get “thrown under the bus” many times. They over work their crew haulers and techs...they are always understaffed and expect things to miraculously get better, but the management team doesn’t want to take time to fix things where they count the most. There is no such thing as praise for your hard work efforts, only ways can get blamed for something you had no control over. The list goes on and on and on... lots of favoritism...

Pros

Benefits

Cons

Bunch of little girls in elementary school.

Dispatcher (Former Employee) – Odessa, TX – March 18, 2018

Nothing but unnecessary drama with the management staff in the dispatch office. The insane part is they tell you on the first day, "If you can't handle drama this is not the job for you."

Pros

fast paced, lots of hours

Cons

incompetent staff and terrible internal communication

You better save up everything you can if you are going to go career in the oilfield

Shop Technician/Casing Technician (Former Employee) – San Angelo, TX – January 3, 2017

I learned that this industry is the epitome of hard work and takes no back seat to any other job when it comes to giving 100% effort in everything you do. Every person on the job is important, so there can no weak links or the entire company can suffer.

Pros

compensation

Cons

bad management leading to major downsizing

Funnest Contract Work

PROJECT MANAGER (Former Employee) – Valencia, CA – November 30, 2012

Typical day was going to worksites and installing ballasts and lights through an effort to save energy. Managed the crew and signed off on their electrical work. Management was amazing and provided for all out our needs to perform our job well. Co worker were respectfull and motivated. Hardest part of the job was knowing it would end soon. The other tuff part of figuring out some pretty intense electrical problems. Lots of wires.The most enjoyable part of the job was giving direction to a willing team ready to work.

Pros

company van, phone, and expenses paid for

Cons

traveling in traffic, contract ended

Accounts Payable Department is not friendly environment

Accounts Payable Clerk (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – July 25, 2014

Not a good work environment. Supervisor is rough around the edges and does not train well. She is good at what she does, just doesn't allow workers to work to their full potential. Micro manages even though she claims that she doesn't. Manager rarely engaged with employees.
"teachers pet" mentality with employees.

would NOT suggest working here

Pros

It was a job that initially had potential

Cons

management is very stand offish to employees

Nachos in the break room.

Tranportation Manager (Former Employee) – san Angelo, TX – March 5, 2015

My previous District Manager liked to have fun. He put popcorn machine and nacho machine in the break room. He kept the office out of monotony.
A day at work was never the same because of the ever changing protocols and demands. I might take a dispatchers place, do an HSE accident meeting, investigate a loss of time breakdown or deliver tools. Whatever it took to get the job done safely.
I did enjoy sitting back and seeing all the progress and impact that I made as a Transportation Manager.

Pros

Great fellow workers, Decent pay

Cons

On call 24/7

Productive and wonderful place to work (Serves food all the time)

Accounts Payable Clerk (TemporaryAssigment) (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – October 14, 2013

Great place to work and grow as a professional. The hours were flexible making it convenient for me to come and not stress about traffic. The manager there was very helpful and knowledgeable with the job and their expectations. The salary was one that I looked for and appreciated.
In all honesty this was one of the best work places I have had the pleasure of going to work.

Can be an ok place to work; depending on the section you work in

Research Engineer (Former Employee) – Houston, Texas – May 16, 2014

I am a former EES employee and I worked in the R&D Engineering section as an Engineer. My comments apply specifically to the section I worked in:

Management had a tendency to be disdainful and disrespectful to employees and not to listen nor consider technical input of employees. Too much focus and time was spent traveling outside of the office that was not truly necessary. As a result there was insufficient focus and time given to completely do engineering projects.

If the same management is running the R&D section, then I do not recommend the company's R&D section as a place to work.

Pros

Facilities are new

Cons

Management had tendency to be disdainful and disrespectful to employees.

growing company but very seclusive

Administration/Training Coordination (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – May 1, 2012

I enjoyed the opportunity to learn about a new industry but the management in charge loved to play games and try and treat us like puppets. If you played into their games to succeeded. It was a really busy job, which was good, because there was always something to keep busy with. Most of my coworkers were fabulous and I enjoy working with them.

Fun but exhausting

Equipment Manager (Former Employee) – Houma, LA – January 10, 2016

I really enjoyed working there. Good people, good equipment. Only thing was the 80 to 100 hour weeks. Some months without a day off.
My day would start at approximately 4 am and end some times at midnight. The only draw back was the inexperienced available employees from the north Texas area.

Pros

Company truck

Cons

Long hours
