MARKWEST ENERGY

We were always busy repairing anything needed, or preforming preventive maintenance on both engines and compressors. A most typical day would be preforming operations for every station we were responsible for, and catching up on preventive maintenance jobs. The hardest part of the job was probably changing valves on the CAT3606 or power washing in the winter. The most enjoyable part was learning every day and gaining experience and knowledge from the mechanics that have been there for years.

9-12 hours of week per day scheduling the movement of natural gas products to the marketing. Interaction with multiple clients to ensure contracts are being met. 

Midstream business.

Inexperienced management, lots of micro managing.

Competitive and supportive culture.  

Micro mangers and lack of acknowledgement.

Working with customers.

Very enjoyable place to work with great pay and benefits. Not sure what else to say. Indeed is refusing to allow me to move past this page unless I give "more details" but I don't have any interest in that. I'm just looking for a job, I have no interest in writing an essay about a company's "culture."

Lots of overtime, not a good place for work/life balance
Hard to advance, very political environment.
Management style is touchy, have to be very careful about what you say.
Job security is good, but energy prices are falling so they are omitting their contract labor.

Good place to work as an employee. However, I was hired as a contractor so my job security wasn't the best.  A great learning opportunity was in place for me, yet my position lasted 10 months and I was laid off due to a slow down in the natural gas drilling activity.

MarkWest is a great company to work for.  The company has been growing steadily for years now and the work load is constant.  Projects continue to flow in and the yearly bonus is always something to look forward to.

MarkWest takes care of the employees they contract out.
I learned a lot about self-motivation, initiative, and productivity.
I worked with only the most competent people in the industry.
Enjoyed new challenges daily.

Markwest has a great culture and great people.  If you work hard and respect your colleagues, you will get ahead.  They love to promote from within and grow their people.

I worked for Mark West for 4 years and it was the best.  Great people and they really took care of their employees.  You couldn't ask for a better management team.

Insecure Project manager worried about exposure of ineptitude. Senior management covers for project manager ineptitude.
Plant manager will throw you under the bus anyway.
