Poor management and scheduling, theyll give you a days notice that you need to be 100 miles away tommorow(you could be there for months) They work their employees like a machine. No consistency, your either sitting at home or working 100+ hours a week. Most paychecks are shorted, and its near impossible go get anybody to fix them. I've seen management practice a lot of illegal acts towards employees. You will not advance in this company no matter how good you are at your job if your not in the right cliche. A lot of drama between some of the supervisors that are power hungry. They will set each other up for failure at shift changes. I am not a minority however i have witnessed a fair amount of racism and descrimination. The list goes on and on. The only positive that I got from my experience is that I have learned a lot from some of the good employees here that are willing to teach you. Also I have made many friends here with the frac techs, most of the low guys on the totem pole are actually good guys trying to make a living. If your looking to learn about the industry this is a decent place to start if you can deal with all the negatives.

A typical day at work.
Very repetitive easy work always having to pick up others slack tho because people don’t want to come to work cause they are over worked and don’t get appreciated.

What I’ve learned.
Don’t trust anyone the whole company feeds off drama.

Management.
Pretty much non existent someone calls off all the operations supervisors pawn all there work off on the field supervisor and watch them struggle while they sit at home and be lazy.

Work place culture
A lot of good people met over the years half sadly gone now. Company taken over by competitors coming to work here bringing there drama from their last company here.

Hardest part of the job.
The mental stress put on the workers from lack of caring about them from management and all the petty extra stuff they complain about but don’t take care of the bigger picture and what’s actually wrong.

The most enjoyable part of the job.
Getting paid every Friday.

What is the best part of working at the company?
To many wanna be bosses not enough workers. And if you kissed the right but you don't really have to work at all you'll always get put on a job that allows you to do nothing. And I also hope you don't mind working 36 days straight in a row and not even getting answers when you ask for a day off

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of communication from management and never given answers when you ask for days off when you work for 35 days in a row 12-hour days

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor everybody complains and everybody's always trying to get out of doing their job

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well if you're the one working typical day is you're working your butt off while watching all the other employees being allowed to do nothing

So much favoritism it's not even funny.
I've watched upper management belittle people who work hard and promote people that literally dont do thier job because they are friends..it's literally ran in some regions like high-school and the management is like the bullies.. There is so much SA that goes on it's not even funny. Don't plan on a raise either because they will do everything they can to make sure you can not advance with the money, you also will not get proper working equipment or ppe but they will expect you to make everything work and keep the job going. The benefits suck, the pay sucks , management sucks, do your self a favor and find a different company to work for because there will be no future in this one unless you don't mind brushing off your knees later.. 

The overall work environment can be both fun and challenging. Schedules differ week from week and it is difficult to plan anything in your personal life. Majority of the employees are friendly and eager to work. Management has had some changes and needs to be improved, however the company is not currently doing much about that. If you don't mind hard work, long hours, working outside, not having a set schedule, and being content to remain at an entry level posting, this is the job for you. With the recent slow down in the oil and gas industry, hours aren't what they used to be. I have had a decent experience with Keystone. I have learned a lot and enjoy the variety of work I get to do.

For starters they have you drive your own vehicle to and from location and when your out of town they make you purchase your own hotel room they give you a perdiem that is so spouse to be 75 dollars but there not honest with your time cards so you may or may not get it. You dont submit your own hours your supervisor does and you get no proof what they may have put on your timesheet or weather they gave you your per diem or correct hours and if you try to get it fixed they come back and say well we have no proof that you worked those hours!!!! take my advice stay away from these folks.

Run don't walk from this company.  They act like they are a great place, but they set you up to fail from day 1! Management is terrible.  The people who work there insult and degrade you. Training is non existent. They are passive aggressive.  You do what one person teaches you but since everyone does it their own way, it's always wrong apparently.  They let you work for months and tell you that you're doing a good job and then all of a sudden you get called in and told everything you do is wrong. Treat you like trash. They pay a low wage and act like they are doing you a favor.  The senior operators bully you and create a hostile work environment .  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being outdoors and working with a group of guys that don't take everything so seriously 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They over hire when things seem like they're picking up just for it to get slow then they have to many guys and not enough work

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's not a bad company they just don't know how to focus on keeping current employees working, whilst hiring new people and giving them the hours they should be giving to current employees 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wondering how or if your going to work week to week

What is the best part of working at the company?
My direct boss always takes care of everything I need for my jobs. Couldn’t ask for a better managing director.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes it’s the deadlines. Depends on the customer though.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment is good. You’ll have negative and positive attitudes everywhere but it’s a decent work environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Mine varies day to day but either rigging a job up, running a job, or rigging it down and working along side my crew.

As other reviews stated, upper management does not care about more than a few their employees. Upper management has small perks and benefits that are not spread throughout the company. They expect salaried employees to work a lot of overtime with no added benefit. They've gotten rid of or forced out all of their hardest workers while upper management takes no accountability for downfalls and struggles of the company. Pay is average to below average. Healthcare is terrible and is only getting worse. Only upper management gets recognized for hard work and a job well done. This is just a miserable place to work.
