AMSPEC

Days are unknown. You could start on a job at 2 AM to find out it has moved to 3 AM then once you finish that job around 1 PM you could learn you have to do an additional job at 8 PM that night. 
This job has taught me how to be dedicated and polite in even the most stressful situations. 
The management at my office was excellent however the upper management of the company are fairly greedy and have continued to remove benefits from the lowest paid employees. 
The workplace culture is greedy, sneaky, and uptight. This didn't apply as much at the office where I was employed but it did apply at a lot of the terminals and other offices that we go to.
The hardest part of the job was the uncertainty and the hours. Not being able to plan anything came a steep cost to my social life. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was the freedom. Most inspectors are trusted to do their job in whatever way the see fit as long as it falls in company guidelines. Inspectors work alone for the most part with only occasional contact with the office or other inspectors.

This company lacks human empathy. It exploits the workers that keep the company afloat by having them work ridiculous hours and zero compensation or incentives to stay. Since it is a private company, financial state of the company is kept under wraps and only a few reap the benefits. Bonuses are not shared only management gets them. No work/life balance. Company does not care about its employees. All we would get were long winded emails on holidays saying “thank you”. Actions matter more than words, and this company has ZERO regard for its employees. To the point their livelihood takes on a backseat. No fire drills, no safety meetings. No nothing. It’s just about production, no compensation. Save your time/energy and seek employment where they actually demonstrate they care about you through good benefits, bonuses, and annual raises. This company had none of that. The important people in this company look at the weak and vulnerable as rungs of a ladder to the top. Protect your integrity and work elsewhere. 

I learned that this job built upon and my current furnished skills. It also kept me informed and up to date on the latest standards as well as made me a more well rounded person by exposing me to new and intriguing initiatives upon arrival.

A typical day consisted of knowing both ASTM and European Fuel Standards. Along with doing quality tests of ASTM Biodiesel Quality Specifications and En specifications as well In addition, to inspections and sampling of the ethanol content and fuel grade quality while meeting EPA standards.

The management & fellow employess had a willingness to help and work with you as opposed to against you. They were confident inthie abilites to run and train those correctly and followed guidelines.

Hardest part of the job was to learn the new technologies and standards that are constantly changing.

Enjoyable part of the job being able to help others while getting my daily tasks done as well.

The money is decent, as most inspection is. Management felt very "used car saleman" as a good description. You never knew what was truly going on, everything was chaos, information misconstrued and misinterpreted. Health benefits are extremely expensivel. I paid almost $300 biweekly for health insurance and still had to meet a $4,000 deductible before any assistance was offered. Would not recommend this company to anybody I care about. Rules bent in favor of those with the pull to do so, meaning management expected you to do things against IFIA and industry guidelines so it could benefit them and then brush under the rug with no regard to safety of employees. 

In short, management that will ask you to break rules, bad benefits, and a decent per hour wage.

Pretty good place to work if ur experienced . I’ve only worked there as an experienced inspector and had no problems other than green guy not being up to par. I worked shift 4-4 on a 2-2-3 rotating shift so that’s a major plus also. Management and coordinators were were great as long as you did ur job and didn’t complain to much . The coordinators all like there jobs done differently and sent in certain ways but as long as u talk to them and see what they want and do it there will be no problems and honestly as long as u keep them happy u won’t hear from management. It’s a very relaxed office and work place if you feel like the odd man out it’s because u made it that way .:. Overall great place to work.

No work/life balance due to on-call schedule. There was never good communication with dispatch and management when it came to doing jobs or for anything else having to do with work. Turnover rate was terrible. Senior inspectors had to handle the extra workload due to new guys needing training on the specific jobs being done. No system in place to train new guys, pretty much thrown out on their own and expected to for them to figure it out in their own. Working long hours, sometimes over twenty-four hours on one single call was  common due to bad planning. Equipment provided was terrible since most of it was hand me downs from previous use and there was always missing fitting. Management was always cheap, never invested back into the division. Overall, terrible place to work at.

They will use you and make you a unbelievable offer to leave your old job. Once you work for them you realize they left alot of details out. They will work you more than 12 hours and if anything goes wrong will blame you even if it is management's fault. There are too many managers, in the lab alone there were 5 different bosses and they would each give you orders that contradicted each other. They were very disorganized. Other chemists and lab techs were terrible and unprofessional and very clique based and worked like it was highschool. The lack of professionalism and disrespect was unwarted. Like I said they will hire you for a specific reason than once you have completed it or trained their people they will throw you away.

I have worked here over 2 years, the people are great. We have a lot of fun at work, management is very helpful all the time, I have learned a lot since I started working here, when I ask questions they are not just answered but explained. They are good about working with you on appointments and time off. Some people arrive to work at 7 some at 8 or 9 so it is flexible for early birds or for people with children in school. The hardest part of the job is the closeout of each month and it's not even hard, just busy and everyone works together as a team so when one is finished we help the other person, other departments and even other locations. I'd recommend this company to anyone who is willing to be a part of a team! 

If youre looking for a place with TERRIBLE management that wont help you at all, terrible boomer mindset that likes to talk down the other generations, no work life balance, no room to grow, and a stupidly unfathomable toxic environment that will gang up on you? Then youve found the right place! Need help  with people throwing urine at your car? You wont get help here! Need help with people stuck in the high school mentality and work cliques? Guess what? theyre friends with management and will conspire to fire you if you even try to defend yourself! Do Not Work Here. DO NOT WORK HERE, not to mention the pay isnt worth the stuff you have to deal with!

no work-life balance, your time means nothing to them. They will wake you up at 2am to come in to work if they need you to work. You are basically on call 24/7, work 12 hour on call shifts on weekends, and they operate on a 24 hour basis. Get ready for double, and get this, even triple shifts. They are always understaffed because the place is a revolving door. Management will lie to you about giving you promotions and raises to keep you there just a few more months before replacing you. I know this because I became someone's replacement as they forced him to train me up so I could take his job at the lab for less pay.
