KLX Energy Services

Constant struggle with over taxed and under maintained equipment.
Ther are no standards in place, between spreads, supervisors/crews, in practices such as SOP for shop time or field work environments. Each spread is different and configurations are liquid. Always changing based on what is running and available at the time. All the equipment has different qwerks and different components; they were acquired through buyouts of different companies and its a nightmare to run and get correct parts to conduct maintenance. Which results in bandaid repairs and running until the next failure. A few good hands remain because they want to stay local. District is profitable but you wouldn't know by the way personnel is treated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Really there is no best part. You have no backing from management. They keep taking away from you. No respect for the employees. It a cut throat company in my opinion.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You have multiple apps. Think I have like 13 of them. You have to worry about getting paid. It’s like pulling teeth sometimes. I would not recommend working for them. To many other companies that will treat you better and respect your hard work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nothing gets fixed for you to be comfortable at your job. It is just bandages over bandages. No one takes the blame. They just want everything to look good on paper, not what is really going on. Saftey etc. They don’t care just get the job done. Lost of double standards to protect them and not there employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You dread going to work. Very depressing!!

On call 24/7 traveling to WV, OH, and lower parts of PA. we moved oil rigs from site to site and set up living accommodations for the rig hands and drill site manager. I learned how to set up living accommodations with water, sewage, electric, and satellite. I also learned how to fix a lot of things with limited resources and tools on site. Management had some communication issues due to us being bought out by a different company. My co-workers were some of the best hardworking guys i have ever had the privilege to work with we became like family since we spent so many hours at work together. The hardest part of the job was the miscommunication with management. The most enjoyable part of the job was the overtime in busy season and the guys that i worked with getting along so well.

You typically work over 100 hours a week.
16 days on, 7 days off.
You're always on call.

see a lot of accidents due to sleep deprivation, sometimes its too much work for what one is making but it ain't too bad at times. washing trucks, excavations, cleaning sand tankis. Awesome for the helpers but not so good for the operators that do most of the driving and get little to no bonus for every job done. Seems like all the Big dogs are always about money. Those that are affiliated with the workers are awesome, it's the bosses that are the ones depriving the workers of all the good benefits that they once had when the place was known as Cornell.

Shop is full of highschool drama. Management has their “favorites” and they are the only ones that reap and good or positive benefits. You’re treated as a number. No matter how hard you work or volunteer on your days off it’s never good enough. They will lie and tell you you can or can’t do this because of company policy then will turn around and let other people do the same thing. It’s all about if you’re like or not. You’re hardly ever home. 80+ hours a week. You’ll be on location for 30+ hours with no relief. Could be an awesome place to work if the company cares more about thier employees and their opinion and feelings instead of taking advantage of good hard working people and walking all over them. Would no recommend.

Team environment was nonexistent; workload was far from balanced (especially during month end--inundated with backlogged items).

Nepotism. Company only promotes based on who's buddy-buddy with whom. Extreme favoritism. 

Older workers with basic computer skills contributed to a weak team overall. 

Lack of moral and tenacity. Low energy atmosphere. No overachievers or ambitious mindsets.

If you enjoy your fair share of gossip and lollygagging among teammates, then this is the place for you; otherwise, steer clear of this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great pay and Benefits! Good people that treat employees well! If your a hard worker that is driven minded you will do well at KLX Energy.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Always on a time crunch and there is some danger involved, high pressure work area and load noise environment. But as long as you are wearing the proper PPE it is fine.

Oil field work and culture. Strong minded men and women that work together and have a winning attitude!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start working out of the gate and doesn’t stop until your 12 hour shift is over

This place was trash never home with family didn’t care about anyone but themselves that were in the office. Constantly looking over your shoulders or talking trash about you. The management is trash if they fired everyone in there and got new management that actually cared about their employees then it could possibly be a good place to work. They give you cards to buy things you need for your job then complain about it just a pathetic place to be. I was there 2 years and asked for a raise and they shrugged it off their shoulders like they never even acknowledged it. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good pay, benefits. In the early years we had great equipment and even brand new at one point, but all that changed with the QES merger

After the merger it was a constant battle to get running , working equipment. Management seemed oblivious 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful with little support from management

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work a completion job, rig down clean and move to the next

KLX energy use to be Blue Dot Energy (in one division). Once B/E Aerospace bought out a few companies and combined to one, they started letting people go because they focused more on spending millions internally, than on products and supplies to keep business afloat. Once the Gas and Oil industry started to fall, they had so much money invested into management and internal business, they didn't have the products and resources to compete with the last remaining competitors and now have barely any of the employees that helped to build what was once Blue Dot.
