The jobs are straightforward but the management is handled pretty badly and financial shortcuts come at the expense of personnel.  

Anyone with basic hardware and tool skills will thrive in the job as it is working with machinery and minor repairs every once in a while that doesn't exceed removing nuts and bolts. After that it's customer service and custodial maintenance of the facility. 

Unfortunately the management is lacking. Advancement and wage improvement come at the discretion of a manager's disposition toward you rather than record of merit and accomplishment. Any change is done through employee reviews but the question is if they will do the review at all for you. Reviews are put-off and forgotten for some workers and expedited for others rather conspicuously. This favoritism also leaks into day to day tasks and workloads are unfairly distributed between employees. As a result the turnover rate is pretty high as well, though this allows fair access to additional overtime. In-addition, incidents of managers lying about giving employees a raise for taking on more responsibility or mileage-compensation for moving to a new facility are commonplace, as are incidents of complaints to HR being equally hollow. 

 To top it all off, acquiring materials to maintain the facility is deplorable. Many things are broken or barely running, allowing leaks and hazards to continue. At it's most menial, this means that cleaning supplies are in short supply most of the time despite the required routine cleaning and at it's worse it means that parts and tools needed to fix something are ordered only once something has broken completely. To compound those problems, management expects a standard of cleanliness throughout the plant including the continuous messes made by the aforementioned broken machinery. So that once a mess is cleaned up, it's present again by next shift. It sends a message of the company preferring to not spend money to ensure safety and cleanliness until it renders the process inoperable.

suffice to say I continually look for another job.

A typical day at work
Would come in for daily meeting and discuss our work schedule for the day. After that, if you were picking you would report to the supervisor for your order tickets and grab your equipment. If you were a packer you would work on a variety of packaging areas.

What i learned
NGL has a variety of accounts in their warehouse meaning they distribute different products. The department i was in was expanding at the time which is good meaning possible long term employment. The company only hires through a temp agency Staffmark.

Management
A little disorganized but the supervisor was cool, very busy guy which i can understand when a warehouse is in a expanding phase. He even came to me and apologized for not putting me to learn how to pick first instead he put me to pack because we did not have enough RF scanners, which is all good to me i didn't mind at all.

Co-workers
Okay, young mixed with an older crowd.

The hardest part of the job
The job itself was easy, i would have loved to get hired on here but unfortunately i could not get a clear answer if they do Temp to Hire, so i ended up looking for one that was. The outlook was uncertain.

The most enjoyable part
I got the position that i wanted from staffmark which was a Picker/Packer, in my opinion it's easy money and i like working independent as well with little to no supervision. So if you liked working in a fast paced environment with little use of brain power and don't mind doing OT then this is the placed for you.

-CPA's beware. Management is not to be trusted at this company, they do not follow policies and make questionable accounting decisions. Auditors should be more diligent. 
-They are not concerned with employee safety and they bully people in meetings not to wear masks in conference rooms during a pandemic. Personnel still goes into work sick due to pressure to be in the office.
-The company is such a mess no one wants to be held accountable for the mess which leads to departments are always blaming the other departments.
-Benefits are below average, especially health insurance.
-Management tends to focus on the negative and not the positives, employees work in fear.  
-This is a very hard place to work and not a friendly environment. I suggest moving on and find a company that is passionate about its business and their employees. 

Management is beyond bad.  Corruption, sick nepotism, lies and more lies. 
You bring up issues and then shove them under the rug.  They survive and they make good money because it is Oil and Gas and those above get a cut of the pie.  Simple as that. You as a worker, be prepared to leave your values outside the door and pretend you do not see things if you want to stay there for a long period of time.  If you have high integrity, you will be miserable.  Their systems are the worst.  The way they treat people is horrible and they do not separate PTO from Sick Leave.  You have to beg for the raise they promised you in the first place and forget about annual reviews or your three months.  It is bad.  Not joking. They will hunt you for your clothing.  Think as if working for a company in 1920.

I am currently a driver still employed here. This job has been the easiest most laid back driver position I have worked. My spot is M-F. Weekends off except during the big holidays like thanksgiving and Christmas. Usually have to work on either the day before or after the holiday. Which isn't too bad since every other work week is M-F. Flexible time off when requested. Free food at each facility. Management is by far the best management I have ever dealt with in a workplace. I have been employed here 2 years. Unfortunately I have seen my fair share of lay offs. Which is common in this industry. If you know this industry. I work my tail off and stay out of the way. Work 50 hour weeks minimum. Don't have any complaints really. If there's any driver openings put in your application. It's worth it here. Benefits are excellent.

On the up side your well paid, the health benefits are really good and the firms pays a big chunk of your premiums. Time off was OK 3 weeks PTO so not great but not bad. 
On the down side your going to get handcuffed to your job description and any activity outside of it will get you reprimanded.  Had several occasions where I had a lull in my work load and lent a hand to another department only to get  told to stay in my lane by the Sr department management. 

Days began at 7:00 am. Planning the day and reviewing the previous days performance and or issues. 4 hours of work followed by 1/2 hour of lunch. Work resumed and continued until 5:00 pm on a good day. 

People are happy to give repeat business to companies and people that give them more than they expect. Going the extra mile always pays off.

Listening is a critical skill. Understanding where you are is essential to progress.

A great team is made up of members that offer different skills and are willing to participate and work towards a clear goals.

The hardest part of my job was realizing I was one person and I couldn't be in all places at the same time.I needed say no to somethings and to delegate more.

The most enjoyable part of my job was interacting with clients and being part of a creative team.

The staff at NGL corporate are very nice and really helpful.  The employees with NGL HR and Training did an excellent job and they make you feel very welcome.  BUT the courier division is very poorly managed with little to no training or support provided...on the job training you pick up as you go.  There was no true manager at this satellite office and the guy who claimed he was the point of contact had no real decision making ability or training skills.  Any questions you had were directed to the HR dept. at NGL. In addition, the hourly wage for this position is very low and not even comparable to similar roles within other companies.

I really liked the drivers and dispatchers, management is a dichotomy of one guy who does little for the workers and another who is proactive but not exactly forthright. I was promised a raise and never received it. I even covered for him to help him out. I really enjoyed some aspects of the job, but if you want to have a job that has your back and can pay the bills, then move along. If you just need some cash for the short term while looking for something better, this is easy to get as long as you have a pulse and can pass a drug test.  High turnover as people get tired of having to work 2 jobs because they are underpaid.

Dispatch group is great, they have came a long way! Dispatch manager is former driver and trains his staff to run top notch. I had a problem with dispatch he called me back personally to discuss the issues, or what I thought was an issue after he explained why I was dispatched the way I was I fully understood that it was the right dispatch. I didn’t think of it as looking at the big picture. I have never had a manager take the time to call me and discuss my concearns. I have great respect for him and his department. It’s nice knowing as a driver we have a top notch dispatch team and manager making sure we have best day possible. Great dispatch manager and Team 5 Stars!
