New Wave Energy Services

A lot is expected of the lower level employees. You are expected to complete at least 10 pages of paperwork per day. Ten pages are expected for the day when you are operating a pump. If you are running location you get lucky and only have to do 7. If you do not complete these pages everyday you will be harrassed by a guy that has less experience than you do (but somehow is in charge of you). You are expected to shave for no other reason than it's a company policy. The main boss will yell at you if you don't. You do not get to choose who your roommate is, so hopefully you get a good one, but not usually the case. When you go on days off you are expected to come back in 6 days regardless of if there is work or not, they'd tlrather you be on standby in Midland than waiting comfortabley at home. The pay is alright. If you have experience everyone talks to you like you're ignorant, mostly project managers. The bosses will doubt you 100% if you have experience  until you've proven to everyone that you really do. As I said before, if you are running a pump for a frac or pit to pit you will be lectured daily and as simple as running a pump is at most other companies, new wave likes to make it more stressful than it has to be. On every job there will be a project manager for each shift so don't even think you'll be able to relax between stages or if the frac shuts down because these project managers will constantly be on you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They will allow you to spend time with your family if you ask for it. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Communication isn't 100% when giving out details of your next location. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Working alone majority of the time but will be monitored occasionally by crew leads and supervisors. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on your shift. Get your orders off your location,  get picked up or use a company truck depending on what they schedule you. Go to your location, inspect,  monitor and report  throughout the day until shift change.

I was promised raises and they never came through there is no communication and apparently everyone has a title.If you don’t suck up to your bosses they don’t appreciate you regardless of your work performance and ethic.They also promise advancement and give you the responsibility but not the pay basically a stupevisor.The standby days are horrible and there is no standby fee paid and when you ask the dispatch they either get offended or don’t answer back.The housing is horrible all dirty always they steal your belongings and nobody says anything about it.

New wave was an okay place to work at. If you do your job like show up on time, wear your ppe, and just basically be awake, pay attention,communicate, and work when it's asked of you without complaining, then you would be considered a good worker on frac side.

I went into this company with experience, got treated bad, no communication between management to technicians. You get left in the dark specially if you cant understand Spanish, employees rather not train anyone their companies ways even tho I had experience I got more of the your the new hire an don’t know anything. Than they don’t want to send you home after working your 3 week schedule. Pay is ok but not the best for that area. I’m moving on 

Its an allright place to work, however there are times where youll be told one thing then be told another and have to read between the lines. You can make money here if your willing to learn and pay attention to process however there are times where there seems to be no SOP on operations can be very frustrating. 

Very bad managment, do not take care of their employees. They don’t have a set schedule for guys. From the time I started everyone just picked days when they wanted to go on there off time and if it got approved then you could go.

Unfortunately company ran into some financial trouble so they had to start cutting cost by getting rid of bonus program, getting rid of reps and really jacking up the rates up of your customers that you had signed up.
They were never transparent with dealings so everything is put on "spin cycle".

Worked here for about 4 years now. Had no experience coming in. Moved up the ranks over time and got relatively good raises. Management is pretty good. They're strict but fair  

If you want to slack off and sleep during work hours then this isn't the place for you  

Local management was great, couldn't ask for a better boss. No real procedures in place and lack of budgeting. 
Work load kept increasing, never was offered a salaried position. No benefits and high turnover.
