I then come out and review the fire boss books again and up date my list of violations. Next I get an update from the day shift foreman and start planning the afternoon shifts work list. Line up the afternoon shift with their work list. Get the finals from day shift and review the fire boss books from dayshift updating violations on the list and getting the supply report from the yard. wright up the plans for the mid night shift and finalize any orders need for the supplies in the mine.

2) I have learned every aspect about coal mining from the ground up 
Belt, Gat sections, Main sections, Super sections, Long wall mining, Place change mining, Construction, Ventilation, Electrical installations, CO systems, Mine tracking, Safety, Track, Brattice, Contractor work, Diesel, Water, pumping ETC.
3)I started as a trainee supervisor, then I was a construction foreman, then a section foreman, long wall foreman, assistant shift foreman, shift foreman, long wall coordinator, assistant mine foreman
4) All my co workers have a hard working ethic and strive for perfection
5) Dealing with all the drama that having 700 employee's comes with and trying to bring out he best performance and safety with them each and everyday
6) Having the ability to lead people to success with an accurate direction.

A typical day involved 10 hours minimum starting with arriving at work and getting ready to go underground. Once ready you started with daily shift books and call outs, receiving a call from the on shift foreman of your section or work group. This call would included everything that happened on the previous shift and what you needed to prepare for or follow up on on your shift. Once shift itself started, you spent your 8+ hours in dark, dangerous condition of being several hundred to 1000+ feet underground. For this reason you come to be a family with the men around you. You learned loyalty and respect for one another since these were your co-workers, brothers and sisters, your emergency help if things went bad and your family when someone had a bad day or had to rely on them for help. Management was every bit involved with the crews as the crew members. Most were treated just like any other member of the crew. Management more hours there than anyone else. I myself enjoyed every aspect of the job. No two days were the same even though the job itself was. Conditions could change in one cut and therein lie the challenge of being prepared, having a plan, and training. The hardest part was adjusting to the darkness, especially in the winter when you may see the light of day on day shift for only a few minutes each day. Overall, Consol Energy was one of the best companies i have ever worked for and I regrettably had to leave, but will continue to cherish the memories of the people i worked with and the lives who touched me while i was there.

My day starts out I preshift the job 2 hours before my employees start. Then I look at my vacation sheet to see how many employees that I will have off work. Then I place all my employees and the position that they are best at depending on what I need done. If there are any problems on the job that I have detected during my preshift depending on the eployees and equipment that i have that isnt broke down then I place the employees in position to fix the problem to make it safe. Then I go around making sure they have fixed the safety issue during my onshift examination and make sure all drilling is in position where I need to blast next to continue mining operations. Then I take afew minutes to go thrue all preshifts examination prevenative maintence program depending on whats needs for fixing all the euipment for the next being cost efficiant.

A typical day on the job was different depending on where we were in the life cycle of drilling a well.  My day consisted of managing the job site and putting together a plan to keep operations moving forward for the next 12, 24, 48 hrs.  I was responsible for the safety, compliance and budget of the job.  
I was relatively new to the oil and gas industry when I started with Consol so I learned a lot about how it worked and how to drill an unconventional well from start to finish.  My knowledge of drilling vertical wells on air and horizontal wells on fluid grew exponentially while at Consol.  I learned about drilling with hammers on air, directional drilling, casing design, state regulations, cement blends and rig capabilities.  
The people I met on the job and my co-workers were probably the best part of working at Consol.  Everyone I had the pleasure to work with was knowledgeable, hard working and supportive.

*Work day was long hours with many challenges.
*My best lesson learned was to stay committed to my values and goals
*Upper Mine management was constantly changing with their own different styles of leadership and styles. Most of my immediate supervisors are excellent people who know the business well.
*My co-workers in general are all excellent workers and some of the best workforce in the coal business. They have done all that has been asked of them and they should be proud of their work performance over the years.
*The most difficult part of my job was the physical work environment, shift work and long hours (10 to 12 hours per day) It made it very difficult on the family situation for many of us.
*The best result was that I was able to provide my family with a better quality of life and education.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Safe mine and management practices

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Anticipating constant threat of lay off with no panel rights do to it being completely non union


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If looking to work in an underground coal miner make sure to attempt to work at one of the umwa mines which aren’t owned by Consol Energy or cnx because most benefits and highest pay with up to triple time pay and in the event that you get laid off you can panel over to the company’s other union mines. So just say no to Consol  and go to Ohio County mine or Marshall County mine or Marion county mine, Monongahela County mine.. all umwa mines owned by American Consolidated Natural Resources 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fairly laid back and good time but you never know what day is your last

Great company with above average benefits when I began working for CONSOL Energy, Inc.  With the decline of first the coal industry and then the gas industry layoffs where necessary and that affected the moral of the employees.  I gained knowledge  of many of the aspects of the business.  I worked in many different departments with many different management styles and was always able to adapt.  My final years with CONSOL I worked in the construction department assisting the director and 4 project managers.  We worked as a cohesive team and supported each other.  I am the type of person that enjoys being busy with a whatever it takes attitude.  I enjoyed getting up every morning and going to work.

A typical work day would consist of reviewing projects currently in progress and decipher the project plan that would need attention for that day while handling any other requests and/or issues that may have been present.

In this position, I was able to build a large network within the 12,000+ employees that I would eventually work with in some fashion.  This let me understand the business processes needed through the company and industry.

I was able to obtain and fine tune of expertise under the aggressive deadlines and large bracket projects I would manage.  I was solely responsible for all of the IT projects (Building a budget, assembling a team, creating a project plan, vendor evaluation, etc..)

I worked with the other employees at Consol Energy for 4 years. I spent more time with them than my real family. I enjoyed my job, even though it was stressful. I managed the suspense accounts, royalty owners whose funds were suspended due to address hold, ssn hold, etc. I assisted with disbursement orders and supplemental orders from the Division of Oil and Gas Board. 
I learned many things while employed at Consol, from the basic essentials to learning more about myself as a person, what I am capable of doing. 
The hardest part of the job was sometimes we received rude and disrespectful phone calls from angry land owners and the worst part about the job was the day I was laid off. It was hard to leave my "family"

A typical day at work included all types of labor. I had my assistant mine foreman papers so I did a lot of fire bossing. I also did a lot of roof bolting and other labor jobs. I learned to work in a team environment and how to reach your goals and meet time sesitive jobs on time. Management was intelligent and also hard working. My co-workers were all hard workers and i got along with all of them. The hardest part of the job was working 7 days a week plus overtime. The most enjoyable part of the job was of course the good pay but also learning a great deal about hard work, team work, and what it is like working for a great company.
