FESCO, Ltd

I enjoyed my time there. Management was very involved, but not the the extent that employees were not comfortable. Managers were approachable in the event something needed bringing to their attention. It was a very physically demanding job, and sometimes you would have to really think critically on a very tired brain. Typical workdays, there was the days at the shop where we could clean and test our equipment and certify it for the next job. When we were out in the field we would rig up to a well and open it up to see what it would do. This was never just a typical day as usually starting off the well there is so much to do, and with a mobile testing separator many object can shift or vibrate loose on transit causing a number of issues. The typical day is either one that is really laid back, or one where you are on your feet for twelve hours working out the kinks. The most enjoyable part is after spending much of a shift working on those kinks is passing off a smooth running shift to the next crew.

If someone is starting out it’s a good place to get your feet wet. Get some experience and go from there. Very few career hands work at this company. Most of the employees have complaints. You can’t use your sick time for your kids or spouse. If you call in sick for anything you have to go get a doctors excuse to use a sick day, no matter if it was just a stomach flue. If you miss two days they require you to a fit for duty form. They don’t provide water during the cooler months. They watch you like a hawk. Some managers are better than others. Where you work will be the deciding factor of how much you like it there. If you get hurt doing extra curricular activities on your own time they will not pay you your time off from work. They make you punch in at the yard, punch in on your phone, and log your hours if you are a cdl driver on your phone. They will cut hours if it gets to slow and send you home from the shop at 40 hours. They want you to punch in and out at certain times. You have to be there before 8 but don’t punch in before 7:45 am on shop days.

Driving to location to start a job and rigging up all of our equipment, regardless of weather conditions. Waking up at 5:00 a.m. or p.m. depending on the shift you are working.  Working a 12 to 15 hour shift(sometimes much longer), during your shift you sent motor valves and dumps for your equipment in order for it to work correctly. Troubleshoot equipment if needed to help work correctly. Calculate your 6 hour tests to get the most accurate activity of the well.  Contact the company representative and continue to send accurate emails for the company to know what the well is producing or how it is behaving. Submit hourly reading into your excel and calculating programs for certain companies.  Repeat these steps for 6 - 60 days.   When the job is complete we would rig down the equipment and drive it back to the shop for cleaning. The hardest part of the job was being away from my family for weeks at a time.

FESCO was a great place to work initially, as the atmosphere was good, the management liked to see you succeed, you were valued, they cared about your personal life (which boosted motivation), and the work you did actually benefitted the group of workers as a whole. 
 I was promised a lot of career advancement opportunities, and the ability to build myself by building the lab. This seemed like the case until the wV district underwent a management change. The new managment no longer allowed the lab to function autonomously and grow, rather supress us to the point of micromanaging. There were no thank you's, no job well done's, Just no value to your effort. I was even told by a corporate leader that I was silly to think that there was any career advancement for a lab tech after being promised it..

Good idea to avoid FESCO WV.

A lot of favoritism and micromanaging from the midland shop managers and production testing managers, don’t listen to other side of story. They have managers sons working there and they get everything should be that way, need more professional supervisors less hands on a in the mix,  no ppe in the shop to many close calls and they could’ve been prevented if the got is blast doors only took the 75 years to get them and the favorite guys that are older that have no experience in the field over someone who does that doesn’t make sense it’s all who cliqued up. They’re all said at the company boss doesn’t know how to spell or write 

BiPolar management with the mentality that if you don't do it, they'll find someone else who will. Forget raises, they pick a handful of people as favorites and promote and pay them better than the people who actually put in the work. Constant bean counting and overanalyzing everything except for improvement of equipment and appearance on location. Daily jobs meant you had to bandaid and repair what you could on your equipment to make it through the job, looking like an embarrassment to the company when things broke and you had to be the mechanic on the wellsite.

I enjoyed working with FESCO, Ltd. My days were extremely busy  during the years working with the Oil field. My excitement consist of a busy day which was challenging.  I set goal each day to complete as much of my work to meet dead lines before the end of the month. Every month all of my work was completed. 
The hardest part of my job was keeping employees honest with hours worked for payroll.  Working in a fast pace helping employees, getting my work done I consider and full day of accomplishments. 
Local office Management needed to be critique. CEO needed to speak with employees and motivate management more before business depreciation started.

I learned a lot and progressed through job transfer throughout the company. It has a lot to offer but you have to put in the time and effort and fight for your position and money. I’ve been told by certain managers that if they can keep you where you’re at it’s a win for them, and I’ve been helped up by other managers. It depends on your own willingness to advance and struggle to get to where you want to be within the company. 

I start the day out with a safety meeting every morning with around 10 to 30 employees.  I have learned quite a lot since my employment at FESCO from a Class III, Class II Production Operator to a Regional HSE Coordinator.  The hardest part of my job is trying to change a safety culture.  The best part of my job is knowing what I teach and what I do helps my employees come to work and then go home safely.   It also helps my company move forward in safety and grow strong in the safety culture.
