I always loved working at Frank's great company and great pay. It was great people in the work place easy to get along with. I would love to go back to Frank's it was the best company I have ever worked for. Just don't know why I got laid off I never missed work and I was a A operator in the StabRite department.

Tough place to get things done

Manager (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – June 10, 2018

Legacy culture is VERY resistant to change. BoD is dysfunctional and run by family that founded the company. Three CEOs and CFOs in 18 months or so.

Pros

Some excellent people

Cons

Chaos at the top of the org

Running casing

Tong Operator (Former Employee) – Elk City, OK – April 24, 2018

Learn how to operate the tongs, work the v-door, a typical day on the rig was working 11-16+ hours a day. Workplace was friendly, hardest part was not seeing your family.

Franks does not care about family or family emergencies. They are not compassionate about there employee.

Shop Technician (Current Employee) – Lafayette, LA – February 20, 2018

Frank's Internatjonal is not family oriented and does not care about there employees. They do not give thier employees days off or consider family emergencies. They feel like you suppose to forget about your family until the work is done. If you have a family this job is not good for you. They send workers out of town with no suitable knowledge and they overwork the employees that are dedicated to them.

Cons

No time for family. No off days.

Good place but lack of mobility

Coordinator (Current Employee) – Lafayette, LA – December 13, 2017

Overall, Frank's is a good place to work, but if you're not an engineer or work in the field you really don't have a lot of places to go. Work/life balance leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the best healthcare benefits I've ever seen, so they have that working for them. Morale is low with have three CEOs in a year and multiple layoffs over the years.

Pros

Healthcare Benefits, Paid Holidays

Cons

Work/Life Balance, Instability

Good company

Quality Auditor (Current Employee) – Lafayette, LA – December 1, 2017

This is a good company that's a safe place to work. Management works well with employees to change the overall culture for the better. I've learned mostly on the job, but they are trending towards more organized and formal training. The hardest part of the job is moving up without being social, but I guess that's with any job right?

Pros

Good people to work with, regular hours, good benefits

Cons

No structure for advancement

Once great company. Now, not so great.

Assistant Manager Completions Department (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – November 1, 2017

Overall, a good place for 16 years, though the company became a more stressful workplace after going public in 2013.
Board of directors did a poor job of managing the company after going public.

Pros

Job security until they went public.

Cons

Poor job security after going public. Poor performance of upper management.

Good place to learn machining

CNC Mill Machinist (Former Employee) – Broussard, LA – October 13, 2017

I started there when the oilfield began laying people off. I learned a lot and a lot of people helped me when I ran into problems. The management expects good work and will let you know if it isn't up to par

Pros

Great training

Cons

You can make more somewhere's else once you learn the ropes

Shipping and Receiving Clerk (Former Employee) – Lafayette Louisiana – August 28, 2017

Fast paced but compensated well

Laydown Operator (Former Employee) – Williston, ND – July 16, 2017

Frank's is an interesting place to work. Then again the oil field in general is, I suppose. The pay was good when there was work. Work is dictated by national oil prices and fluctuates often. Management at my particular office was poor and cut every corner possible to make the most profit; sometimes at the expense of safety.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Little home/family/personal time, poor management

Frank's International, Rock Springs Wyoming

Office Manager's Administrator (Former Employee) – Rock Springs, WY 82901 – June 13, 2017

Management downsized our location. Otherwise we had a low turn-around rate and dedicated employee staff. Administrative staff and payroll administrators were professional and respondent to the organizational reporting processes. Location management was easy to communicate with and understand job completion requirements. We prided ourselves with a high rate of productivity and safe environment.

Office Manager (Former Employee) – Hobbs, NM – May 10, 2017

I would work for them again if I had a chance they were good to me. I wish oilfield never got slow because they had to close the doors at the company. I miss working for them.
