The work is horrible at times, easy at moments. Poorly promoted management, saftey is not the primary concern (safety meetings are not even mandatory), the company wants to have the cake and eat it too. The dont hire hands to train, they only want experienced hands but how they treat their employees is horrible. They run them into the dirt physically, mentally and dont care. They will work you 16 and sometimes more hours a day, expect you to be back at it in 8 hours to do anything personal eat, sleep, use bathroom or visit with your family. They will still call you while you try and sleep on your time off begging for assistance, help, or want to know when you can come in. There is no accountability for assets, tools, or employees or customers for doing the wrong thing. The communication between customer and management is lacking, they let customers tear up the equipment and dont understand why they go threw so many starters, have so much downtime etc. The bonuses are garbage, most of us would just rather not get one since it cant even pay for a cell phone bill. The tool allowance is garbage, you will easily break more than they give you in a year. Good luck on getting any specialty tools to do your job correctly. They do not complete scheduled maintenance like top ends, overhauling frames, changing sensors, upgrading panels and software when they are supposed to since it's not in the business model. This company will slowly get ran over by competitors since they are out to do the right thing and keep machines running. They do have training, its garbage, the few training classes from other companies are 1000% and though. Most employers are not trained on specific equipment.

I have been with the company for almost 17 years and have been through some tough times as well as some exciting times but must admit this is the best company I have every worked for and I have worked for quit a few. I have been  offered jobs with other companies while employed by Archrock many times and with better pay but always thought about how this company has stood by me and really never let me down and as far as my co workers, past and present have and are the best people that I could ever work with. Archrock does have some of the best people to work with and have great attitudes which is very hard to find now days and am very greatfull to be able to work with them every day, my plans are to stay with the company until retirement and continue to give 100% every day to help Archrock achieve great success. I would recommend anyone wanted to get into this line of work to give Archrock a try and I promise you it will pay off for you and your family.

I work with great people. The culture at the workplace is great and everyone does their part. There are many things I love about working at Archrock but I feel some of the core benefits and values that make us happy to go to work also become the carrot dangling overhead. Flexibility with hours, work/life balance, hybrid schedules, compensation, various growth opportunities etc. have gotten better but its often as "something that might go away" even though "performance has never been better". It's to be expected though. Most companies do this in some way. Overall, I enjoy working at Archrock and recommend mechanics and techs to give it a shot because the culture and focus on safety is worth it. Nepotism and favoritism can occur too which can take a toll on team morale. 

Provide support daily for the technicians,  process Requestions, po's and schedule third part services and maintain stock & restock in support the Contract Compression service for our Area's for Central North East BU
Learn different points of view to communicate and share to get the job done.
Work as a team and work together to better communicate 
The hardest part is difference  of  perspective that some people bring when they do not work professionally. It can be very difficult and more challenging  than it needs to be. 
The most enjoyable is knowing that you have done your best to support the mission and you see the improvements and support for the technicians and supply personnel  as a team. Which to me is the Archrock way!

I've been with Archrock for a little over 3 years now and it has been a wonderful experience. The company truly values its employees and provides a supportive work environment that encourages personal and professional growth. The management team is approachable and always available to offer guidance and support.

One of the things I appreciate most about working at Archrock is the opportunities for career advancement. The company offers a variety of training and development programs that help employees reach their full potential.

I also appreciate the focus on work-life balance. The flexible schedule and generous time off policies make it easy to balance my job with my personal life.

Overall, I am proud to be a part of the Archrock team and would highly recommend the company to anyone looking for a supportive and fulfilling work environment.

The company is a great company with great benefits. However shortly after finishing NAFO I did resign due to management and safety concerns. Everything that I was told in training went out the door. Archrock says “you belong here” in its recruitment advertisement, well I have never felt so unwelcome in a company. 
I received no mentorship and truck that sounded as if it was a safety hazard in itself. The compressor on the truck was literally hanging off the side and evap canister faulty so good luck filling it up. The stress and constant complaining was definitely not worth it. Then add on the safety concerns out in the field and that’s makes for a miserable experience. 
Very disappointed because I had such high hopes for this company. But live and learn. 

MOST areas within the company truly want to help grow your career and actually care to invest the time and money into the employee with training, and plans of career advancement. Computer systems and daily time entries are not perfect and a bit over kill but company seems to invest a lot into the employees with bonus structure, pay raises, and state of the art training facility. Culture is driven by current management team and could vary from group to group, BUT so far all teams I have met and worked with have a great family attitude and everyone helps each other to a common goal with Safety first mentality. I worked at previous company "exterran" and they have changed for the better in most aspects. 

My day was always busy.  I learned to manage my time and prioritize my work. I was given opportunity to broaden my horizons, learn new skills and improve skills I have.  I worked with awesome people and we operated as a great team. My manager had high expectations, but gave us the support and tools to meet those expectations but was unforgiving of failure to meet expectations. In the long run, this made us try harder to succeed. The hardest part of the job was learning to prioritize, but always had support and encouragement to make the right decisions.  The most enjoyable part of the job were the people I worked with and became friends with.  I learned that working as a team and having each other's back in a crunch makes a work family not just a job.

You learn a lot from field and classes, good pay and benefits, some great mechanics and managers but some will throw you under the bus to save themselves! Seen it happen many times and company has a track record of doing it constantly. They say safety is top priority yet take weeks to schedule vehicle repairs, make you drive trucks with tread separation while manger takes weeks to get replacement tires approved, driving trucks with almost no brakes! If you try to get repairs done on your own time because your manager fails to do his job, you get fired and they sweep it under the rug as a different reason for termination. If you value family time, sanity, common sense, work ethic and safety this is not the job for you!

A typical work day can vary greatly from working in frigid cold to working in the hot summer sun the company is great about providing the needed ppe for weather conditions.  It has its days where you get greasy and dirty and days where you dont 
however you are compensated for it.
The guys are all very helpful and willing to teach and i learn something new every day.
The culture is great most are friendly and eager to complete the work Safely , The company gives you all the resources to learn your job in depth and creates a clear path for success if your willing to put the work in . It is a great company to work for as long as you do your job !
