Assist Services, LLC

Assist services is like any other traffic control company except, there's no promotions within and they do offer benefits. But they don't hold up to 100% of what your told in the orientation like the raises or the hours promised(PS-the vehicles are new and do NOT have Wi-Fi like we were told and their NOT taken care of at ALL). 

-Workload, they don't have enough work for the amount of employees present like being told in orientation. Assist continues to treat the ones who've been here since nearly the beginning like a number or an inconvenience because there's no such thing as "seniority" with them. 

Assist continues to allow the adults working there to continue the high school drama (especially if your not liked, then they'll do everything they can to get you fired as will the supervisors) even after multiple reports. Granted, there are a handful of good employees that want the team work atmosphere that traffic control is supposed to be about but its not likely anytime soon with the scummy employees present. Supervisors are no better between, playing favoritism's to talking about you to other employees to just being power hungry and/or disappearing with "favored" employees to not scheduling you to work at all if it means their favored employees wont be working.
 I can continue with the cons but I'm just mainly bringing awareness, don't want others not to make the mistakes I've made.
-"trust nothing you hear and only 1/2 what you see"
I pray management see's this and makes the necessary adjustments.

If you’re considering working here, understand this: being short-staffed isn’t an occasional problem — it’s the business model. You’ll be stretched thin, expected to cover gaps, and then reminded to “step up” when the workload becomes unrealistic.

During hiring, there’s plenty of talk about steady hours and opportunity. In reality, hours feel conditional. The promise of consistent work seems to depend more on how well you play the politics than on performance. If you’re not interested in kissing up just to secure shifts, don’t expect stability.

Communication is inconsistent at best. Commitments are made easily and forgotten just as quickly. You’ll hear what sounds good in the moment, but follow-through is rare.

It’s frustrating because it doesn’t have to be this way. With better leadership and transparency, it could improve — but as it stands, it’s disorganized, reactive, and exhausting.

If you value predictable hours, clear expectations, and management that keeps its word, look elsewhere.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The crew members, were the best part. They are the ones that made the job worth while. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worrying about when upper management was gonna decide to stab you in the back. Or what they were going to try to blame on you next. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very drama filled, the uppers in the office talk trash on all the employees in the field. The traffic superintendent is a liar and will throw you under the bus in a second to save her own skin, even if you and her both know she’s lying.  of course, it’s you that gets reprimanded. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You are made to feel like you’re constantly walking on egg shells. I never hardly came out of my office because of that reason, i felt it was best to be out of sight out of mind.

I currently work here and simply disappointed and discouraged every day. I work anytime I’m needed and do what is asked but am left feeling unappreciated and like a number. Growth is almost non exhausting here unless your friends with someone in management. They also tell you the promote from within but always hire from outside. I’ve seen maybe 2 people promoted from within on year+ I have worked here and many hired externally. Broken promises all day long. Cars are never maintenanced always have check engine lights windows won’t go down ect. They are also always dirty. The one thing I can say is pay is decent but you work many hours to get that decent pay. There are some good people here and I really think that and the pay is the only reason I stay. It’s not the worst job but also not the best by far. 

I've never worked for a company that is so fearful of anyone who can think for themselves. Upper management plays games not just with staff but middle management. 
Upper management keeps you in the dark about anything and everything until it needs done immediately. Then blames you if it's not done in time. They lie to all incoming staff about all these hours that's available when really there isn't. Barely enough hours for a handful but they want to hire more people.  It's feast or famine mostly famine. You would do better working fast food at these you get a regular paycheck. 
Also never ask a question about why because the attitude is that your a trouble maker. They want do as your told don't ask why. Only a select few get the hours and you can guess why.

I have worked for this company for 2 years, you have your good and bad days just like anywhere you work. I love working for Assist , yes the hours are long but it is the oilfield we are talking about here. As long as you do your job and do it safely you have no problems, but it's a highly demanding job and if your not willing to step up and take accountability for yourself then this job may not be for you. If you are a motivated person who is willing to step up to the plate when needed, yes this is the job for you. 

The only downside to Assist is they need more employees but they're hiring constantly. The benefits are great, the pay is better than most and they have a schedule posted weekly. Most of the people that complain have only worked a week or so before quitting. They did pay for my training, they did pay my boot reimbursement and I was given uniforms and all PPE at no cost to me. I just have to show up to work and the hours are there.

I left a good job on a promise during the interview process that there was many opportunities for advancement and a friendly work environment, I worked for 90 days and got laid off . They overwork their staff with traffic control working 6 days on 1 day off their Forman's end up sleeping in their cars to cover post and they will not turn away work even when knowing they do not have enough people to cover 

Overall a great place to work, a growing company with opportunity for advancement as they grow and open new paths. You get out of this job what you put into it. I personally started out as a temp and have worked my way into a legitimate position where I am lucky enough to be able to give people opportunities to better themselves daily.

When interviewing and going through orientation we were told about all of these hours we would get. A month into the job and they have cut our hours in half. It's to the point where you'd make more money in fast food. You get all the way to the office ready to work and then get a tex telling you that you're being called off for the day. No compensation for the trip you just took to drive to work.
