a typical day at work - show up and find out which location(s) you will be working in for the day. Get to the job site in a hurry because everything is an emergency (no it's not). You work regaurless of hot(100+ degrees), cold (worse since your almost always soaked in water or chemicals), rain or hail. Only get off a job for lighting (if it's plant policy) All of which with no breaks. You do not leave a job until it is finished. OSHA says you have to stop working at 16hours in the field (I had to work 32+ hour shifts on multiple occasions) You get burned by hot condensate and steam, or other hazardous chemicals often (I have scars to prove it). Management does not report injuries, and often will not compensate for lost time or cost of medical supplies.

what you learned - how often people die doing what we did, and that I did not want to be a leak sealer any longer than I had to be.

management - as long as you are willing to sacrifice your family and personal life, work long hours with out fore notice, and not expect or ask for a raise or bonus they were fine. Unless you got hurt and needed time off to see the doctor or compensation for medical supplies. They dangle raises and promotions in your face during the holidays, and use guilt trips when they want off; but you'll never get it.

your co-workers - Most were Blue Falcons, and threw each other under the bus to promote themselves as soon as the opportunity arose. Your seen as a slacker if you don't drop what ever personal plans you may have had regardless of fore notice to management to go on an over time job. But their was no set on call list for helpers so you don't get over time till you make plans.

the hardest part of the job - being expected to work shifts that extend far beyond the OSHA 16hr limits, constant burns and other injuries and expected to not miss work, constant unsafe work practices and violation of site rules and regulation

the most enjoyable part of the job - getting to work at a different facility on a daily basis

Terrible work environment, punctuated by backbiters working as management in the office. Low level, inexperienced at repair work, the office staff convinced Texas owners to let valuable employees go, in order to split their salary among the remaining employees. Avoid this employer if you value your sanity.

Was a great company that would often display value and appreciation for the hard work and dedication of their employees. The work was often unpredictable but management and coworkers made it a great experience.

Used to be a wonderful company to work for before the equity company investment. Corporate structure and does not like "legacy" employees. Somewhat competitive pay and depending on location management is poor.

The job is definitely hazardous and it keeps you on your toes. Management is great, always on top of everything. It’s a very cool job, you get to experience and do a lot of cool things that not many people to do.

I have nothing but positive things to say about colt it is a great place to work. Many at colt make sure that you have the tools and the skills you need to carry out the job.

Working here at colt services as a leak repair technician is rewarding, jobs are sometimes easy sometimes very difficult, we deal with all types of leaks in refinery plants.
