Not sure where to start with ECM. It's an easy job (piloting). You can make decent money if you can actually get 5 days a week, even after our 5 percent pay cut. The water truck drivers got their 5 percent back. The flaggers and pilots didn't. The water truck drivers get to use a company vehicle, the rest of us don't. The pilots and flaggers that got sent out of town get a laughable per diem. Their put in the worst motel in town. They don't even get per diem for the final day they work that week. They don't get 5 days a week and have actually been sent home early. We have pilots who should've never been hired. They call off all the time, they come in late all the time, and when they do come to work, they hide and sleep all day. Management is too weak to confront the troubled employees and fire them. Let alone even discipline them at all. Our piloting vehicles aren't regularly maintained. They're breaking down, they're damaged, they're NEVER clean, inside or out. It's pathetic, especially considering they're brand new trucks. Then they put a useless Cobra 29 cb and Firestick antenna in the trucks which makes communication almost impossible. I could go on, but I think you get the point. ECM shouldn't even be in business. It's one of, if not the worst companies I've ever worked for. 

I hauled production water primarily in a transport on nightshift for Ascent Resources. The nightshift had a decent group of guys but some of the drivers thought they could go call dispatch and change everything and it would screw everything up. If u didn't haul at least 120 BBL plus pure load u got shoved in a bottle on hourly work and the other drivers would talk some new guy into scrubbing out every load and they would end up taking your place. Safety said since they went to short haul exempt (100 air miles raduis) that us on Ascent ( truck paid by BBL )  wasn't allowed to take r 30 minute break either eat lunch while at disposal or frac or while driving, ( they couldn't bill it so they didn't want u to stop it was all about profits, if on BBL haul scrub out not allowed to stop if u argue u end up in a bottle, maintenance program is poor, and health insurance is outrageous probably highest per pay in industry, 800 to 1000 month for family plan, yard is to small for amount of trucks they got. Pretty much moral of the story, scrub out, suck up to dispatch, put company first always and stabb other drivers in back u will fit right in the click there

One positive there hourly rate is almost industry top
Bonus is good and easy to get

Management is a joke, poor workplace culture, all about who you know and who you blow. The majority of the leads are dirty, and two faced. The ones who work hard and are good employees seem to be treated like dirt and punished. The ones who cause problems, drama, wine and refuse to work get catered to and rewarded. When you first start they will make you believe all kinds of bull, they fill your head with a bunch of false hope and lies just to get you hired in. Dispatch and the office management is unorganized and treats staff poorly. People refuse to work and can't perform job get promotions. The leads take weeks vacations, all year long and if flaggers ask for 1 day off to use paid time it took a year to earn you get punished and get hours jerked. You also drive over an hour to "float" and get sent home 2 hours after. They'll tell you it's all about over time and really have you travel far bounced around everywhere to barely get hours. All their "favorites" work close ( their backyard) get 60-72 hours every week and work "their spot"

If you enjoy working your tail off for the worst pay in the industry then this place is for you! However if your one of those types that believe you should be paid fairly for the time and energy you put in then you need to run away and don't look back. I worked here almost 3 years. Due to all the pay cuts i took over the years, i was making $2.50 less the day i quit than I did when I first got hired. Insurance is stupid expensive. If you have a family it is cheaper to buy policy on Obamacare than pay for it at work. And its better too. Vacation sucks too. There is no bonuses since they took them all away 2 years back. There is literally no incentive for anyone to want to work here unless you just desperately need a job and don't care what it pays. I never wrecked or had an accident in the whole time i worked there and yet people with multiple spills, rollovers and crashes continued to work there so it is pretty hard to get fired apparently as long as you keep kissing butt

I am an Administrative Assistant with ECM Energy. This was my first job in this field of work. At first I was very unsure about taking this position, as it was all a new territory for myself. Looking back, I couldn't be happier with the decision I made to come on board. Since the very beginning I've had nothing but a positive experience. With the many employees spread over different locations and branches, I thought it would be a completely different feel than what it is. No matter the position, branch, office...someone is always willing to help and lend a hand. It feels more of a family than a place of employment. ECM truly cares about their employees, which sadly is not so common these days. I've truly learned so much from working here. I've grown and had to adapt to a new surrounding and industry I had no previous knowledge of. With the help and support of this team, I've never felt more confident. I hope to have many more successful years to work for this company and watch it grow!

Ecm has no value for decaded employees. They wont let you take the pto that they offer you and then just take it away when you cant use it no pay out or roll over . No pay rises only pay cuts then when they give you your money back you are to be grateful.  You work extra nothing extra is given . Management is a joke they dont answer and when you call HR they act like you asking them to do mircles. No job security they are always closing yards ... the best part about this company is dispatch and drivers which make them all the money but up Management has a people are a dime a dozen attitude.  They mess with your pay and screw you on unemployment when they close a yard .. plus they think they are paying top competitive rates when everyone around them in the areas are paying more with better benifits 

ECM Energy Services,Inc., sets the example for Traffic Control and is a great company to start a new career or rekindle an old one... I must say that I was skeptical about working in Traffic Control again, but ECM is helping pave my way to a brighter future for myself and my family... Most local employers offer zero overtime and no benefits... ECM, offers both and will provide you the opportunity that 95 percent of the employers in the area either can not do or do not want to do... ECM Traffic is lead by a great Traffic Manager and Assistant Traffic Manager  that has been nothing but respectful, understanding and professional... ECM has earned my loyalty and respect as they have given theirs since day one... Thank You for the opportunity that you have given me, ECM ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

I really enjoyed flagging at the gas/oil well sites. When ECM lost the Antero contract for flagging, DeepWell was to take over. We were told by ECM to go apply for DeepWell, some did and went as far as taking the drug test, then ECM tells us they have more work lined up actually more than they could handle. Some of us decided to stay with ECM...BIG MISTAKE!! Not 2 months later, 30 some people permanently laid off, others with no options for work because if you went to DeepWell open interview, was told to take drug screen and didn't, they won't hire you there now. or if you went so far as to take the drug screen and didn't go to orientation, DeepWell won't hire you either. You are put on a list of NEVER being able to be hired there. So ECM screwed us out of not 1 but 2 jobs!!

ECM was a company to work for. They paid you on time and gave you the hours you wanted. If you wanted to come to work, do as little as you needed, be a mindless drone, watch movies all night and get paid to do it. This would be the job for you. If you wanted to come and try and advance into a different job you needed to never do anything wrong or make anyone mad. They, like most companies keep a lot closed in the management circle. From loss of contracts, what they had planned and end goals being. Dont speak up and Try and change things for the better, be proactive in helping unless you know they will approve or do anything in the name of ECM unless you are told to and you will be fine. Remember you are just a employee....
