I worked in the office and not the plant so I have a different experience than the majority of the employees hired and I will address that one. In my position, I had three great managers to start with and two were laid off prior to Covid. I was suddenly laid off after working from home for six months.
It was a very challenging opportunity as there was a great deal of technical information to learn and there were not a lot of resources to pull from other than managers who were continuously swamped. It is a good company, but they are cheap. It seems like they are not really looking to invest in long-term employees. I did have an employee review that was very positive, but no raise. Even after I approached them to take on extra responsibilities for a needed project, I was denied a raise. 
For plant personnel, it's a tough and dangerous job with a high turnover rate. They will take anyone, but again, they do not invest in their employees.
The water in the plant is non-potable so you can not drink it. Channelview has a problem with a toxic ground water so be prepared for that. The company does provide clean drinking water to the employees and is very conscious of heat and heat-related issues.

The culture and management was awesome.They thrived on team building and generally cared for their Employees. Everyone had a chance to move up in the company and would send you to school to help you meet that goal! They also were very family orientated and did a lot of volunteer work for the community’s around us including the Floods-in the southern part of the US and the fires in Canada wear we teamed up from the US and CAN to be one large team witch I loved the most about this job. They also had a really great benefits program that they contributed to for their employees family they believed in family first. Witch I thought was a great thing that also maid me love working for this job. We wear always doing team events with the family’s. And they also had a very good bonus structure that maid a really good Christmas for all that worked at Shawcor. I just wish Covid wouldn’t have came around and taken the jobs of a lot of people and friends who worked there cause I really miss it and would still be working there. All and all Shawcor was the best job I’ve ever had and I hope to some day be-able to find a team just like it.

Not being biased at all I loved working here and I loved what I did. But I feel 100% like I was set up for failure. In your training period your told by both the trainer, lead molder, and supervisor to visually learn and watch and do some hands on here and there. But at the same time you will be complained to about how your standing around watching. others not wearing paps in the molds and when you do it your the only target. Lead molder is the supervisors pet and will immediately throw you under the bus if he deems he doesn’t like you. Management has zero clue what they’re doing and can’t even get molding to get shells on the floor. Couldn’t even give me a reason as to why I was terminated. If you want a dead end job you wanna waste your prime at then this is it. They’re really living it up over there!

This place was ridiculous.  There is a serious issue with the culture and leadership in this place.  They would advertise one thing to their workers, their clients, and their suppliers, but would never deliver on a promise.  The product was never on time, the processes were never good, there was never any training, the blame game was constant and demoralizing.  The group could be praised for the achievements that were made, while at the same time kicking bonus pay down the road and walking back relaxed uniform policies and hybrid schedules.  The place is a revolving door of faces because it's literally miserable here.

Not a bad company. Management could have been better organized as far as fair treatment towards employees. If someone in the office did not like you for any reason, you were targeted, and eventually fired for any reason suitable to supervision at the time. Half the workforce did not speak, or spoke very little English. 
Personal protective equipment was provided. Safety was enforced on jobsites. Learned many things about fiberglass welding.
As stated above, not a bad company to work for, but not the best.

A typical day at work would consist of inputting data into UltraPipe, creating specific spreadsheets and entering equipment information for vessels/tanks/piping.
I have learned useful shortcuts in Excel.
Very understanding management!
Everyone is super friendly and dedicated to our company goals. 
The hardest part of my job would be, figuring out which formulas/material codes to use for specific entries. 
Being able to put family/health first whether it be appointments, vacations and school functions, makes it easier and more enjoyable to work here.

I was hired on in a hopeless position. The manager had favorites that he would never write up for unsigned tickets. Not that the manager was ever present in the time I was employed there. I would be reprimanded for sending notifications to technicians with outstanding tickets, but wanted me to make a difference in the outstanding ticket list. I was unprepared for a payroll, and given inaccurate information, on top of the system's being down. This caused a major disruption in a few paychecks of the guys. I HIGHLY DON'T RECOMMEND WORKING FOR THIS DUMPSTER FIRE!!

I started as a temporary employee, within 5 months was hired on full time, received full benefits immediately and 2 weeks of vacation.  Worked mainly days, only infrequently worked over nights to strip pipe that required re-coating.  Management would buy lunch about once a month, made sure that breaks were given on time and that gatorade was provided during hot weather, and coffee for colder weather.  Great place to work.

Overall Shawcor is a great  place to work. There is a lot of growth , and the organization is solid. Shawcor promotes diversity and equity and inclusion in all aspects of the business.  If you have a special skill or interest Shawcor will allow you to explore and develop those skills even further.  There is room for advancement but that advancement doesn't really mean increase in compensation to market value.
