Expanse Electrical Co

Fast Growing Company with Excellent Management
Recruiting Manager - Midland, TX

I spent 5 years at Expanse. The company is run by an excellent team of  Executives. Expanse has successfully navigated the headwinds of oilfield service challenges and transformed into a profitable company with excellent benefits and with very capable employees across its offices spanning from Houston Texas to North Dakota. 

Expanse does well-providing management, technology, support, compensation, and a positive work environment for its team members.

Expanse is large enough that you can benefit as an employee from its size but small enough that you can make a real difference and your contributions matter in the overall mission of the company. The work you perform at Expanse is meaningful and important. 

Some of the best people I have ever worked with are at Expanse Electrical

At first everything is okay then a couple months in, immediately work is piled on and very hard deadlines to meet. The work is difficult due to the amount of time to complete, lack of information, and lack of employees because of turnover. (More than 10 people quit or were fired when I was there) Management doesn’t seem to care about employee input at all. Speak up and you might want to start looking for another job. I learned a lot about what I do not want as an employee working for a company. The workplace culture is that there is none. The hardest part of the job was when submitting work/projects and getting condescending responses/feedback on almost everything from managers. The most enjoyable part of the job was when I wasn’t working there, if I did not have to work the weekend. Also, do not expect to get raises and reluctant to allow you to take PTO.

They are a bunch on vindictive and self centered people who rip the company off for time and copper wire. But will expect you to care about your job while you see all the corruption going on. And they have horrible nepotism going on. They hire friends and family and let them do nothing and expect way to much out of the actual tradesmen and let the family and friends collect a free paycheck. This review is based off my 3 years with the Oklahoma branch.

Overall
My experience working at Expanse Electrical Co not bad but was getting worse

I love the guys that I worked with. I was compensated fairly. The superintendent is an inconsiderate rat bags. My immediate supervisor was OK, kind of rude and would speak down to you but I guess he was an OK guy all in all because outside of a work situation he genuinely appreciate the work we did and treated us as friends. There wasn’t a real big skill set there unfortunately. The Automation side I really enjoyed the most. I’ve learned many things that I did not previously know and it helped launch me to a new level.

At dixie I learned the basics for being a lineman, from putting poles up and connecting the lines to run electricity to batteries needed in the oilfield business. Management was great, my supervisor always made sure we had work that morning, even work that took us several days was the best. My co-workers were all friendly, they were very helpful when it came to training me the first week I was out on the job. The hardest part of the job was standing out in the hot New Mexico sun all day, I enjoyed the work thoroughly and look to continue work as a lineman to become a licensed journeyman.

Overall, Expanse is a great company, but just like with any company, it does have its flaws. When I worked there, there were several people in a management position that had no business being there. Toward the time I left, they were making changes, that I feel, were in the right direction. I didn’t leave because of any animosity or anything, just wanted to be closer to home. I still have many friends there and many fond memories from my time working there. 

A typical day at work was very stressful due to the fact that upper management would implement new policies without middle -knowing. 

I did obtain a good deal of experience from Dixie through management training as well as leadership training.

My co -workers for the most part were enjoyable to be around and helped with the day to day stress.

The hardest part of the job was the stress and the sense of not being able to do my job to my full extent.

The work is challenging. The people you work with the Formans everybody explains what the job is in there all about safety that’s one of the main deals. Before I was laid off I never had a problem with anybody working there and bring her along with a joke I knew something wasn’t right they talk about it I think it worked out fine. We only calls about that job was having to manually dig.Other than that no problems there thanks
