Boardwalk Pipeline Partners

A good company to train  for an entry level oil & gas start and that's it. For one,  the pay is not equivalent to what other oil and gas companies pay. Expect to make many significant dollars less than your counter part in another oil & gas company. Also, the company operates like it's still in the 70's, refusing to take advantage of modern technologies to streamline business and make it easier for people in the field. Management  often micromanages every little thing. There are no choices. If you want to take a day off, don't expect your management to approve it. You're off when they say your off. There is no flexible schedule. If you have 40 hrs on a Thursday and want to take off on Friday without taking PTO, forget it. They require a mandatory 8 hrs a day then they complain that you made overtime because of their policy. Next, it is a dictatorship there. Management makes all decisions from budgets to your vehicle. They don't care if you request a 4 wheel drive vehicle because you work in the woods. If management decides a 2 wheel drive vehicle is cheaper then that's what you get. Everything with this company is about price. They are very cheap. There is no true team environment there. Management makes all the decisions without input from subordinates and subsequently comes up with bad decisions. Then they try to hold the subordinates responsible. Many subordinates have been fired because of bad management decisions. They will blame you for their bad decisions. So work at this company if you desperately need a job or you need to get started in oil and gas, but then leave. This should truly  be a short term gig.

A typical day at work would begin with a bullpen meeting with the Document Control team; then everyone would progress to the day to day duties, tasks and responsibilities.

The most rewarding thing learned here was the ability to train the direct team members about the inter workings of the Procurement process of a project.

Management encouraged the entreprenuerial skillset of running our department.

The hardest part of the job was the times when co-workers did not get along and productivity suffered.

The most enjoyable times were when we would generate challenges in completing small projects and award the winner with a bonus item or a free lunch.

Boardwalk is a very great company as a whole. The benefits are some of the best I've had, pay is competitive but could use some work. Workplace culture can be spotty at times due to older employees not pulling their own weight. Management is also hit or miss due to trying to stay under budget and cutting in areas that don't need to be cut.

I witnessed alot of backstabbing to gain managements favor. They never told you if you where doing well or doing badly ever....until you accidently mess up one day and ypur manger who never talks or calls for sometimes weeks at a time is yelling at you for messing up?!?!

Strong Safety Culture. Good pay and benefits for most. Very high stress environment; very little collaboration or team work encouraged (but talked about). The projects are naturally stressful, and understandably demanding. But what could be challenging, is made miserable by the "allow you to fail" management practices.

Boardwalk was a great company.  I enjoyed the job, although logistically it was a bit much. Great management who work with you to solve problems. The setback is you will more than likely be underpaid compared to the market, however, there is room for advancement.  I regret leaving this job, but the opportunity I was given I couldn't pass up at the time, turned out to be a lie.

we usually had a project mtg with the eng director every morning - 10 to 30 minutes as needed
learned extensive knowledge of Oracle and its uses
management was great to work for
co-workers couldn't have been more helpful
hardest part was my drive to work - 66 miles one way
the intense scheduling/planning and implementation of projects

On a typical day I work with six Field Safety Reps, and one Safety Analyst. I develop, manage and update  the Safety programs, create safety training, work with field managers to investigate any injuries, near misses or safety situations. We have a robust Leadership program.

The Boardwalk CEO, Stan Horton, is an excellent leader and has a great deal of integrity; however, the company needs to do a better job of retaining good employees and attracting new employees by offering better benefit packages and pay.

The environment is good and the people are nice to work with. You rarely have to work late. Pay and benefits aren't as good as bigger companies. Career progression is slow, raises have been ok not great. Slow paced environment.
