Cooper Natural Resources

At the start of the shift, you will take a sample gauge to the silos and run test on the product, that will continue for the rest of your 12 hour shift. Equipment is more than likely to break down due to someone else’s negligence. The hardest part of the job would be that there is no proper training whatsoever. as for the workplace culture management seems to think that they could talk to you any type of way they want with complete disregard and you say nothing.

Work starts at 8 and ends when it ends but you are told this upfront. You can learn alot here if you're willing to learn. The manager I'm under is a real hard head but very fair and willing to work with anyone's schedule. The guys I work with are great and always willing to help. The pay is better than most jobs in the area, the drive is not great but the company gives fuel money on our checks. The work is hard, it's got when it's hot and very cold when it's cold. I enjoy being able to learn new things, and there is alot to learn. The manager and the supervisors will teach you if you ask or if they feel you need to know things, which most people are taught everything. I like my job

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not very much! Decent pay is about it. Higher management has no clue about the trucking industry!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper management. They do not allow people who have been in the business for years to do the job they were hired for. Their way or the highway, even if wrong!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Favoritism, if the owner likes you then you’re golden (safety doesn’t matter as long she likes you). 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No organization, no new ideas from corporate. All about what they want and won’t listen to or consider other opinions!

Poor pay, says job is 8hr days with occasional overtime but its reverse, overtime is nice but you cant plan for anything through the weekdays. Management doesnt appreciate anything you do for the company. They dont want to buy anything to help keep the company going its always to much money. Overall disappointing management alot of people come and go for that reason. If you have to plans out side of work cancel them because no one cares what you have going on outside of work, family doesnt matter to them unless its their family then they take off. 

The job is great, it's a drive but we get a fuel supplement. If you wanna learn new things, my boss can teach you just about anything about repairing equipment. The guys I work with are great and fun to be around and everyone is ready to help each other. Management is great on my side, I don't deal with the other managers much, my manager is a hard head but not in a bad way, he makes sure the plant stays running regardless the situation. If we need time off he usually gives it to us, not without griping first, lol. As long as the job is getting done he leaves us alone and does his own thing. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm happy here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
They have snacks and drinks don’t worry about packing a lunch 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Your on call 24 hrs a day 7 days a week ,you never know when your getting a reset day or when your going to get called out hrs of operation suck there’s no day or night crew

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Boring when you show up there’s nothing to stay busy with 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Not bad when your loading ,doing deliveries  it’s  peaceful and quiet

typical day started at 0730 with checking emails then the phone started ringing at 0800 and while answering the phone and transferring to other people in the office I was also taking calls as the logistics managers and learning how to schedule train shipments and manage a myriad of paperwork and daily changing priorities set forth by the COO.

No raises unless you are liked by management doesn’t matter what you know, how hard you work, or how long you’ve worked there it only matters about who you suck up to. Managers have their favorites. If you are friends with your manager you you can get off when you want doesn’t matter if you have vacation or not. I’ve known people to to work here 5+ years and people that have worked there for 1 year are making the same wages and the knowledge and experience are not at all alike.

Equipment is horribly unreliable constantly having issues beyond our control but it’s always “our” fault management is completely disrespectful and does not understand the plant isn’t brand new anymore and doesn’t produce like it should constantly driving people away or firing them cause of one mistake don’t waste your time here you will be miserable 

Good people who actually care about employees. Open door type of company that takes good care of employees and customers.  They bring in lunch every week. They take good care of drivers as well frequently bringing in steaks to grill while in the field. They also provide free housing at the terminals that is much above average. They put money into equipment and keep things well maintained.
