They have employees live in a compound that’s 2.5 hours away. They’ll have you sharing a house with people which is fine but they also have you sharing s room! Sometimes you’ll get home and someone is sleeping in your bed because it’s so over booked and management can’t schedule to save their life . Then the job site is normally another 1-3 hours away. Employees end up getting less than 5 hours of sleep. They work you to death then try and not give you your bonus. The engineers are given 5 times the amount in bonus than the operators. Awful company! I’m not the only one to say this either. Everyone I worked with has left. Not a single person that was there a year ago is still there. They say they’ll pay you extra for your travels if you live out of town but that also is a lie. Lots of empty promises at this place! Run as fast as you can!!

as with all service companies this one has its ups and downs. The atmosphere is what you make of it. with many years of oilfield experience I have watched many different aspects of management, GR has taken its concept of managing to a different level. you can complain or you can be part of the solution. The younger generation seems to want to be praised and handed everything. The concept of learning to fix your problems evades them. GR will let you work to fix your issues or send in help if needed. It is truly a new age company with many old oilfield values. Great company to work for. 

startv 4in morning might not get home until 10 at night, always on call even weekends off service is high demand with this job. people are great work with most time you work alone. job has come before family or you wont last long. have be able to talk customers through problems over phone at 2am. always have answer phone no matter what time it is or vaction.overal if you have will make money and put family on side this job is great to make 2ook year or more.

No bonus tracking program so they can just give you whatever. Work week starts Thursday so they can screw you out of overtime. No 40 hour minimum. They rent the oldest junk houses for out of town workers. 9% bonus cap on the well for everyone on the job not just your crew so they will hire you at 2% which would be huge bonuses at $500,000 a week tickets but with the bonus cap a 2% operator will make more like 0.5% depending on how many men and there percentages are on the job.

Been a decent company to work for. I've worked for better and I've worked for worse. I feel like the communication between management and the the employees have changed greatly the last couple of years. Feel as though the DM doesn't want to be there most days. The FSM is a far cry from what a FSM is supposed to be. Never leaves the yard unless forced to. If you have a problem on location, no matter how bad the situation, he never comes to location. His answer to everything is "Figure it Out". 

This company has showed multiple times and in multiple ways that they don't care about their employees.  First they don't have 401k matching and never had it even before the industry lows.   They have OK health insurance but not great for an oilfield company.  They do not distribute work evenly and favorites get more work even if their performance is less than other employees.   They make schedule changes without any notice.

Most people were happy but you have to play the game.  Buddy/buddy system everywhere and most of the time its the same people getting the hours and bonuses all the time while others just earn hours in the shop.  I learned a lot from the coworkers that were willing to help and not feel threatened by their job.  Also, management has their favorites and will tell them what they want to hear.

I was told that I would be trained for a position as a field engineer that I was never trained for. I was lucky in the regards that I was never on a crew that was not working. For several months 75% of our crews were sitting around the yard only getting 40 hours a week while a couple crews were getting an average of 112 hours per week.

Was your typical oilfield job. Wellsight atmosphere, severely short handed and majorly lacking support from management and chain of command.  
Por salesmen skills, resulting in no jobs for 3 months. 

If you don't mind long shifts and labor-intensive work, there's good money in it. As long as you're  willing to learn and diligent, moving up shouldn't be too difficult either.

You definitely need thick skin for the role and dealing with other employees, but for the most part, everyone is nice and easy to get along with.
