If you want to work stupid crazy hours, get paid well below industry average, have no clear direction from supervision, and never know what your schedule is going to be more than 10 hours in advance, then this is the job for you.  If you aren't making the company money by working out on site, then you don't matter to the company.  They will find every reason not to give you your merit raise or pay you what you are really worth or for the responsibilities you have been given, while supervisors are driving brand new trucks.  
Safety is #1 and the rules must be followed, until the smell of money is in the air and then suddenly the rules can be bent.
Once they do start paying you for what you are worth, they will not think twice to get rid of you and replace you with someone who they can pay less.  
For as much as time as supervisors spend on the phone you would be amazed with how little communication there is within the company.  

There is never any work anymore. Place was great until ron got his hands on it. Ron fired everyone that knew anything about their job, because he doesnt know anything about his job so this way he feels secure for the first time in his life. Ton gives bogus reasons for firing people and if you show proof that you are  ot guilty he just says well that dont matter because that's not why your getting fired and then wont give a reason, I know a few people still there and it has  ot changed, if you like to do your job and succeed then do not apply at newpark , now if you want to sit in the office and drink coffee and wait for the doors to close then go ahead and apply also the pay is not very good for what you do, let alone what you put u with, constantly written up for following state guidelined

This company is honestly the most rediculous company I've ever worked with. Honestly their T&D department for Portland is a joke, their terrible tobwork with, good luck trying to figure out what time your getting off because they never communicate that you just had to know. Everything changes all the time. You could be working a normal day and then all of a sudden you could be gone for a week with barely any notice. All the Foreman haze you constantly. I had several issues with one that would personally attack me about my home, my life style, and my family that reported to HR and they didn't do anything about it at all. Very disgusted about this company.

A typical day at work would consist of starting all of our equipment and warming it up, we meet at the substation to go through AEP, go to the job site and lay the mats, at the end of the day we clean all the equipment and head back to our hotel. We work 12-14 hours per day.  I have learned how to work as a team with a common goal to complete tasks. The management is very well communicated. The hardest part of the job is working in the extreme temperatures and also traveling all week away from home. The most enjoyable part of the job would be working as a team member and feeling accomplished when completing a job.

I worked at Newpark Resources, Inc. for approx 7 years. Throughout the time there I held multiple roles and learned quite a bit. The management team associated with all of my roles was always willing to assist and help guide me in a direction that allowed for personal and professional growth. Newpark Resources has a great company culture and is made up of wonderful, very intelligent people. It was a pleasure to work there for so long. I would strongly recommend Newpark Resources, Inc. to others.

The day always started off greeting my fellow coworkers and off to work.
The day was always full and went by quickly.
Anytime needed assistance, manager was always receptive and assisted any way possible.
I learned the way a true management team should operate and how coworkers were always brought into the team as a whole.
The hardest part of the job was to tell potential customers that they did not meet requirement guidelines and that we were not able to accept them as customers.
The most enjoyable was to be a part of the Newpark company family.

Work day always fast paced
Newpark was very good at having employees learn different departments in the company.  This way - we could step in and help another department when they were short handed.
Managers were always willing to help the employees with learning new skills
Co-workers were awesome to work with - became like 2nd family
Hardest part of the job was closing books each month.  Somewhat stressful because of hard deadlines.
Loved what I was doing.  Assisting sites with problems using Oracle, loved working on new Vendor Contracts, loved learning anything new with Accounting.

Great Company to work for.
Loved working with users providing daily assistance in the OTM area. 
Loved working with a diverse group of supply chain analyst which were mostly from India.,  We were able to exchange cultural ideas and I my horizon is much more broadened by that experience. 
My company allowed for me to work in several aspects of the supply chain and I was able to handle the functional responsibilities of order management, purchasing, and inventory.  
The hardest part of the job was seeing so may co-workers get laid-off due to the downturn in the oil field services sector of the economy.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Use to be a good company.  They pretty much phase out senior hands and hire new ones so they don't have to pay them near a much.  Most the upper management is in it for them selves. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of support, more into charging the customer instead of doing quality work. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on the well and the rig

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake up at 4 run mud checks,  deal with problems in bed by 11 maybe.

I took a lot of pride working for Newpark and working in the HSE department.I believed in the future of Newpark. I learned something new and grew personally every day. I felt there was a huge amount of integrity in being responsible for the safety of Newpark's employees and the communities we worked in. HSE is an integral part of the company and I believed in Newpark's safety culture and was excited to be a part of contributing to that culture.I really felt like I was a part of something special
