Gravity Oilfield Services

Typical day at work included getting to work at 7AM and unless told otherwise, would have time to prepare your work truck with any equipment needed(Oil/Diesle Filters, Oil, Parts, PPE, Tools, Batteries ect.) and las well as fill your work truck and diesel trucks for the day. Would be give your jobs for the day which could include Oil Changes/Diesel Fill ups on equipment/ Delivering Rental Equipment/ Rigging up/down rental equipment, or work around the yard. After completing all jobs depending on the time of day you would be given more jobs or told to head home. You could also dispose of your waste (trash accumulated or bad oil) while at the yard. Dispatchers were professional and helpful, great hands on training, management was hands on when needed but have trust to the employees, new employees never left alone during the first 2 months for proper care of work, supported employees when dealing with difficult clients. Trucks were old but were well taken care of, maintenance was vital and expected. 

I have work for the company a little over 2 years and think this company has has some of the most experienced employees in the oil field of anywhere. They pay is very good and the benefits are great 401K match is very good and the medical options are nice plus so free life insurance plus a Christmas bonus based on you time with the company rater than the level of you position.Great employees to work with and in most cases they look out for each other, most managers treat employees like family. The business is like any related oil field company up and down so some risk but the reward are high in most cases. I would say speaking for the power and rental side of our business where I work that most employees show up daily wanting to do a great job and take care of our customers its unlike most places I have ever work before and I really appreciate that type of environment. Gravity has many branches in multiple states so you have the ability to move and transfer.

Basically always on call if you're not at work. This is a few years disconnected from working there so things may have changed there. Some people were reliable and others not so much. Shop manager was there everyday and did everything he could to make things happen. 

When I was there you would have 1 day off during the week but only Monday-Thursday. Everyone was scheduled for Fridays. For the days your scheduled you're also on call. If a call comes after hours before midnight it goes to the tech scheduled off the next day. Burning that day off. You're also on call every other weekend. 

Summer time is the slower time and you could be anywhere from 40-60 hours. Winter time will keep you busy. 12 plus hour days followed by a call out and if you're not off the next day you are expected to be there 8 hours after you get back from the call out for your mandatory DOT break. The hours are good but don't expect to have a life outside of that. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The manager at the time in Odessa was wonderful. The manager in Midland where I was transferred to was awful I would not recommend anyone working there in Midland 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The Midland management he is a sawed off little Hittler screaming at employees in front of others !


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awful  in Midland wonderful in Odessa

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In Midland, getting screamed at for something I didn’t do. And they make promises that they have no intentions of keeping!

Dot issues are overlooked to get to the pending job by the Forman of the shop I seen him tell the mechanics to run it ! Doesnt matter who you talk to you will risk your CDL everyday! And when you get a ticket you will pay it yourself . I worked at gravity a year . Csa scores are 87 percent . If you do have truck issues you won’t get paid for the down time and if they don’t have a job for you in the morning your expected to wait without pay . Dispatch are lazy and won’t even help you fans a location they are busy playing x box in the area managers office all day but I guess when he’s your dad you don’t have to work for a living the company sucks stay away trust me .

Department heads do not take their responsibilities seriously which creates a very uncomfortable atmosphere to try to learn and grow in. Unfortunately, it is also important to know that the turn over rate here is high and there are male individuals with behavioral conduct that is not conducive to a safe work environment for women. This company offers high compensation to draw you in but the work environment that you are subjected to after accepting a position here is not worthwhile.

Field techs have to work in the field all day then have to fix equipment at the shop because so called shop hand Weaver only stands around smoking and complaining that he got a dwi and can’t drive company trucks and sits in the break room for 2-4 hours a day including Saturdays riding the clock. Shop hand puts on paper that he did the work that the field techs finished at the shop. But the shady shop foreman lets shop hand get away with doing nothing! Field techs are treated like nobody and expected to pick up everybody else’s lazy slack. Needs reconstruction all the way up past branch level!

This is the absolute worst company I have ever worked for.  Upper management only cares about lining their pockets and have no interest in the employees that work there.  I went through 5 supervisors in 3 years if that tells you anything.  The last supervisor I had was on such a power trip, she made every day total misery.  I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.  Please for your own piece of mind and sanity, DO NOT GO TO WORK HERE!!!  I think being in prison would have been better than having to go to that h**l hole every day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being able to work with other people and I love what I do to better myself and learn the job right the first time and ask questions about the job am doing



What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Don't knowing how to do it  right the first time 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
People help you to learn the job 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just know that I can do it on my own  with out anybody showing me
