What is the best part of working at the company?
Most coworkers were knowledgeable and willing to help when problems arose.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the elements during cold weather.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment varied with the weather.  The culture favored employees gaining as much knowledge about wellsite operations.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical workday depended on hole depth.  At shallow depths the work was fast and furious.  As hole depth increases the work pace slows down.  Regardless of drilling ROP a high degree of professionalism was expected at all timesl

Impac only serves its long-time employees with the respect ever employee deserves, even if someone who is new at Impac but is better than everyone who has been there for 10 years. The hours are excruciating and non-flexible, 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week. They say they want to put you on locations that are close to home, yet when you go home after a 12 hour shift because of very important obligations, they frown on that. Most of the people I work directly with were unstable, to say the least, however I do work with some really great people. That being said, the gossip is like being in high school all over again. Also, I get paid about half the salary I was paid for doing the exact same job at other companies.

There is so much that wasn’t disclosed to me when I was offered a position. Like that I wouldn’t get paid for downtime. When the rig reaches icp and runs casing there would be no pay and the loggers would be released with nowhere to go . That I would be residing g I. A horse trailer converted into living quarters for2 and work station all in one: very tight space for 2 strangers. And when I looked at this add it is advertised at $17.00 per hour while I was only offered $16 per hour. I would not be paid more that 12.5 hours per day whether i worked or not. I would only get 12.5 hours. No per diem and definitely no mileage pay. 

This job required a lot of hours with not a whole lot of off time.  You work on a drilling rig site. Depending on the number of holes being drilled, you could be on site anywhere from 5-7 days, up to a month or more (depending on how well the actual drilling is going). You work every single day that drilling is being done. 12 hours a day is a work day. You are pretty much guaranteed 84 hours per week. While a rig is moving to another site, you then had home time. You got paid 4 hours per day that you were at home (minus per diem pay) and had to be ready at a moments notice to report back to the rig.

While working with Impac in West Texas, I would say the only good thing about it is working with the main manager. He is easy to talk to and great with communication. Everybody else? Not so much. The two field supervisors make you feel inadequate at doing the simplest of tasks. The field tech's refuse to bring you equipment that you need to run a smooth operation. You live in horrible trailers where half of the trailer doesn't work properly. Yeah, you could get an apartment somewhere, but expect to pay close to half your salary in rent.

I, like every other person I have worked with in the years time I have been here regrets taking this job. Every ounce in a while, about 1 in 10, you'll find somebody that likes the company/job. Time off is few and far between. Most employees, near 100%, work three months or more without any time off. More over, the living situation is usually a converted trailer with terrible plumbing that lets the smell of the septic tank permeate the living area. Lastly, the pay is also one of the worst in the business.

I've mud logged for several companies over the years and Impac is by far the best.  I've seen some negative reviews about work/life balance and thought I would give my perspective.  My co-workers who choose not to live local (Permian) seem to be the most vocal on this issue.  I chose to get an apartment in the area and am home everyday.  That being said, the work/life balance is what you make it.  My co-workers are great, even the complainers, as well as my management.  If you're looking to get into oil and gas, I highly recommend Impac.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They care about the quality of life for there employees,

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being away from home for extended period of time 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid back and understanding. Change of seenery


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake up work catch samples do report and sometime you wake up and you are off for the day but you still get paid

Impac has kept me working even through the oil and gas industry downturns. As a Mud Logger your success depends on how well you do your job and how much time you are willing to put in. Sadly there is little to no room for advancement and the training in other areas of the company are lacking. There are some great managers and some not so good.

The management in the company has a genuine care for its employees and will go above and beyond to help out whenever and wherever they can.

The job is horribly unbalanced when it comes to life outside of work. You can potentially be on a rig anywhere from 45 to 120+ days straight. The pay is awful for the sacrifice made for the work, unless you're actively and continuously training new employees.
