Challenging work environmemt

Accounts Payable Clerk (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – September 16, 2019

At time I worked at franks, it was quite a challenging time for the company. I was very stressed and overworked due to the company having an impossible work load but not hiring enough employees to evenly distribute the work. However, the company was great to work for as a whole. I learned so much and was constantly being encouraged to be better.

Its oilfield work. Rough but good pay.

Class A CDL Driver (Former Employee) – Midland, TX – June 6, 2019

The dispatch team was very nice. The Day and Night rotation work is bull. You can't do it safely and drive a Big Rig. I had to leave as I can not work the land nights then be expected to jump back into days. Perhaps you can, but I can't. My wallet sure wishes I could.

Pros

70 hours in 5 days

Cons

Shifs are on call.

The people a great to work with

Inventory Clerk (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – May 28, 2019

Pull inventory for workers as needed. Then issue using co. software.
Check in inventory as received, put in proper location. Receive in computer.
Management lets up get you get your work done.
People now what they want when coming to parts cage,
Hardest part is at time the overflow of inventory coming in at one time.
Best part is we can work as a team and knock the wok in a timely manner.

Pros

Got to put in over time

Cons

Only half hour lunch

Good for oilfield

Field Hand (Current Employee) – Midland, TX – March 26, 2019

Good oilfield position for West Texas and parts of New Mexico. Long hours make for very good overtime; average work week 45-110 hours per position. Subject to needs of rigs in location and according to the season.
Could go a week jumping back to back jobs without returning home to restock food and supplies from somewhere other than gas stations. Outdoor position means exposure to hot days and chilly nights. Company values safety, field supervisors value speed and efficiency.

Pros

Overtime, Employee housing, Work vehicles, Full benefits

Cons

Unpredictable schedule, Boomtown location

Excellent company, privately owned

General Manager Brazil (Former Employee) – Rio de Janero, Brazil, Houston, TX – January 27, 2019

Being privately owned, Frank's International has the flexibility to focus on long term objectives, which works better for them than quarterly Wall Street objectives

Change fatigue

Director of Business Operations (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – June 12, 2018

Frank's was once an amazing place to work but has undergone so many changes over the past three years that it is virtually unrecognizable today. Gone is the loyalty and devoted culture that made it special.

Tough place to get things done

Chaos at the top of the org

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.
