If your looking for great health benefits then this place has them. However since they pay for your benefits 100% their hourly pay isn't the highest in the area for a warehouse job. It's currently 16hr for day shift. Which at this time is the about same as most fast food places in the area. 
The shift days & times are not flexible it's Monday-Friday, you can't switch shifts with co-workers. Your set hours say the same every week depending on the shift you work. You have 5 pto days and any day you miss must be taken out of either pto or vacation and if you run out then miss another day you're likely to be fired. There's no unpaid time off or sick days available. They do have paid holidays & everyone gets them off. 
They do have set mandatory overtime Saturdays.  Also they do have layoffs,  this company's employment 100% depends on how the oil market is currently doing so if it goes down then you're out of the job, which to my understanding happens every 5-7 years... ish. 
The work is repetitive you do the same things everyday in and out, and most of it is fast paced and has a takt time. (A amount of time it should take you to complete a the task given and start over)
They have a restaurant(the food is not free), full medical clinic & gym all on site. 
They have team lunches once a month where they give you free food and have a meeting for 1.5hours and a company meeting where the office workers tell you what's going on in the company this month. 
They offer quarterly bonus based on how long long you've worked there, the 1st one usually being around $50. Yearly raises are also given until you hit the capped amount,  I believe it's about 5 years or so. However if they increase starting wage increases and you've reached the capped wage amount your wage doesn't go up unless they also raise the capped amount. 
The job itself is pretty easy and most the people are nice and easy to get along with. 
I enjoyed working there. 


I’m giving my full honest opinion. I’m not typing this to bash the company, because the company itself is a awesome place to start a career with or get started in oil & gas industry. If you decide to take the offer to work at this company, you will not regret it…at first. When I started I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but eventually I grew to enjoy my job and the Individuals that I worked around on a daily basis. This company is like a toxic relationship, you will appreciate the pay, benefits, good coworkers and experience that come with the job. But then you’ll realize the toxicity when things go wrong and upper management steps in. Red flags should start going off when you hear every other day, “ANYONE IS REPLACEABLE!”. I will testify that this statement is true. The moment I resigned from the company the inventory manager was not phased at all, even after working with him for close to 3 years because his and other managers mindset is that you’re just a number that can change to a new one. I understand that a lot of big corporate companies are like this, sometimes you have to just take the punches and keep going. To sum it all up, just be cautious when working with this company. Especially the ESP side of things, you’ll be expected to do your job, plus someone else’s because that’s what is expected of you. To go above and beyond for the company, to just get maybe less then .50 raise at the end of the year with a 2 or 3 star review for not doing enough or not going in that one day it was snowing. And trust me when Texas had that bad winter freeze I was at the shop everyday because I was told that the customer was more important and the weather conditions wasn’t a excuse. Im just giving advice, you do with it as you please in your decision making. Thank y’all. 

Management is a joke, They only care about pushing out product. Roll you under the bus to save their job. They always looking to fine you doing something wrong to justify their job,. Never have anything good to say. Always complaining about what you not doing right no matter how hard you try. The production equipment your working with is majority of the time broken or not functioning right. It's 2021 and you're working like it 1945. Nothing up-to- date. Definitely a mom and pop operation. Underpaid and overworked. They fine reason not to give raises. They use your mistakes to justify why you're not getting a raise. There is some favoritism to those that are close friends to managers. They talk down to you like you don't have the smarts to realize they screwing you, and insulting you at the same time. There is one so call manager that always thinks they have the the answers to everything, but clueless to what is going on. Everything on paper doesn't work in the real world.
Anytime there are managers walking off or leaving the plant. You know there's a problem. Never believe what managers say. They will lie and never get back to whatever your needs are unless it benefits them or the company. You just a number to them. You can be replace anytime. There is always people at the gate trying to get in. One more thing. If for some reason you quit or get fired they will not pay you for your vacation time that you earned. also will fight to stop you from getting unemployment.
Please trust me. You can do better. 
There's nothing sweet about that Sugar Land plant.



Do not work here. There is a huge apathetic culture at this plant and the morale is very low. The culture is reactive and not proactive whatsoever and they are hemorrhaging talent like crazy. Managers do not know how to fix or unwilling to spend the money to fix the issues (as a previous reviewer mentioned: they will throw you under a bus). There are constant manufacturing issues that effect quality of the products, and the laboratory has severely ancient equipment like GCs and LCs that have no routine maintenance programs.

Production management dumps a huge amount of responsibility on the chemists to try and fix batches that are beyond repair either due to mischarge issues, equipment failure or getting contaminated from being transferred to a dirty storage tank. The plant constantly gets unapproved raw materials ordered by the Procurement Department. The chemists are expected to resolve raw material issues as well. Support from other organizations in the company is very disjointed and slow. 

The facility is losing several of their money-making products to Ecolab due to the spinoff focusing mostly on oilfield production products. Oilfield is an extremely volatile industry to go into especially now. While working manufacturing is secure, there are no guarantees. 

Somewhat flexible work. If you actually do your job you will be stressed out everyday. Field level employees are awesome. Most managers are not. They leave early everyday and the Midland office is empty every Friday except the few of us that make the money for the company. Majority of Account Managers have no clue what goes on in the field just boss employees from the nice AC office. There are a couple account managers that are real leaders they will work in the field and take care of any task no matter how small if help is needed. Upper management needs to wake up    in regards to operations. Two to three weeks late deliveries are regular now and we are loosing customers because of it. This has been going on for over a year now with no changes at all. Time to think outside the box and try something new. The company is also trying to go “woke” and is driving good leaders off and replacing them with incompetent managers to meet some kind of quota. 
This business model will not sustain and customers will eventually find a vendor that can get the job done, not just talk about it and make nice presentations.

Never work in the Operations Department. If you're a hard worker and become one of the best you will not be rewarded for your efforts. They give you lip service your entire career and speak about improving lives and growing your career. Problem is they don't improve lives and there is no career path in operations. They look at operations management as the smartest knuckle dragger they have but you're not considered a true manager. You will not be promoted any further and no other departments want you to tranfer into them because they view you as beneath them no matter how smart you are. If you have problems HR will not fix them. If you need headcount TA will not find them. With so many cuts to the support departments the ops managers are required to do everything themselves. Safety, training, human resources, procurement, billing, you name it I've done it and continue to do so. I'm sure it's a great place if you're in the corporate office or in sales. Those people get promoted and rewarded weekly because operations gets to read about it every week in announcement emails. Its been 5 years since I've seen an operations manager be promoted. This company is in a downward spiral and will end up losing every great manager they have.

Being a field operator allowed me to learn different aspects of my department, it’s very easy to move within the company as long as you remain in your place as a hand.

As a driver, I was given multiple job duties (dispatch, field inventory management, forklift operator, maintain equipment registrations and maintenance up to date for over 30 different pieces of equipment, deliveries, field moves, pump-offs, wellbore treatment, and assorted odd duties)
Management gives you very little to no support for all given job duties, and as any driver would know it’s your responsibility to have the equipment you drive DOT compliant. Management also takes all the credit for all of the achievements drivers have accomplished.

Overall, ChampionX is a good place to work if you like being an operator/tech, but moving to  a management level position is very difficult. You’ll always be seen as nothing more than a hand and be reminded of that when you make an effort to get ahead in your career

Place pays monthly bonuses which is really good and plenty of overtime. But that's really all that is good company prefers to treat lazy and useless employees better then hard working ones, you can't adress any issue with management because  you'll be one in trouble for basically  talking bad about a lazy employee  not doing their job. Alot of favoritism is here if you are part of the lazy people you'll be fine.  If your a hard worker you end up getting stuck doing most of the work while everyone  else does the bare minimum  and walks around. Don't work here unless you want some quick cash for a few months to get on your feet and then leave. If not you'll get stuck doing all the work and having management  passing the blame onto you for the jobs they  accept and can't get done. Emphasize  on safety but get mad when you try to stop work in an actual  dangerous  situation 

Constant calls from customers day and night. The only relief is shutting your phone off when you are supposed to be off. However, you then get in trouble. Customers complain about lack of communication constantly but do not communicate with you. Apparatnly we are supposed to be clarivoyants as well. 
Overall job is ok, hourly folks have it the best they actually get paid for what they do. Salary you will work 80-90 weeks but get paid for 40. Company is so short handed that if you only work 40 you start losing customers left and right. Company is running on 3 wheels and is about to be running on 2 wheels if upper management doesn't address the extreme lack of personnel. 

This is an Oil & Gas-related service company. Strong company culture aimed at improving lives through satisfying client's technical challenges and their associated societal benefits.
The company culture generally practices what it preaches regarding its people focus both internally and externally. To be honest conditions internally sometimes get frayed during economic stress, but management sincerely tries to repair conditions when business improves. The company always puts safety first, is customer focused and also is strongly supportive of the personal family needs of their workforce
The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing programs come to success, improving client operations, efficiency, and sustainability.
