NexTier Oilfield Solutions

What is the best part of working at the company?
NexTier has assembled some of the top talent on the planet to ensure they maintain the competitive edge. Additionally, this is the first company in my working life, that practiced what they preach in QHSE.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Perhaps the most stressful part of my job is being on call 24/7 while on hitch. There are times when the phone rings and you must get up and mobilize. It makes it hard to relax and get quality rest. The upside of course, is when you’re on days off, you’re on days off. 
The schedule is like having a small vacation every month, which more than makes up for the late-night runs.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The HSE culture is unlike any I have ever seen. They encourage employees to seek out training for career advancement and they prefer to promote from within. 
They are big on accountability and encourage employees to own their performance.
This is a large company, but they don't treat you like a number. For the first time in my life, I have a career. Not a job.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I start my day early but have no fixed schedule. Naturally there are expectations, required meetings and deliverables, but we mostly operate with autonomy. 
Leadership will check in from time to time to ensure we have the support we need and occasionally ask you participate on a project. It's usually something I enjoy doing anyway. 
To be honest, I work a little more that I should, but it's by choice.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone was a team player.  We always had the right equipment and parts to perform our tasks in a safe but timely manner.  Great place to work

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing really I enjoyed waking and going to work every morning. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Open door policy.  If you had a question or something you didn’t know we could another employee or upper management without the fear of being looked down on.  Every question or concern was always raised identified and handle in the safest and productive way 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work work work.  We did our daily assigned tasks, took our breaks, ate our lunches and continued working.  If upper management knew you knew how to do your job at an expert level they never bothered me or hassled me.  They assigned my tasks, ask if had everything I needed then walked.  Because they trusted me and my 20 years experience that I could get the job done to their expectations if not better


Management sücks, they don’t listen to what employees have to say, they take more of your pay every chance they get, they fire the good people and keep the shîtbàgs. You can work your aśś off for years and they will still give the better positions to the people who hardly show up to work, or show up intoxicated. They promise their employees benefits and pay for certain tasks and once you agree they give you none of it. The are literally so cheap that they once came out to location with boxes of hats, gave us each one to wear, took our picture together, and then took all the hats back. This place is a joke, literally you’d be better off enjoying your family while your kids grow and live a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. Nextier should be ashamed of themselves. Higher ups that don’t do half the work we do are getting paid $100,000-400,000 a year while we “the ones making the money, and sacrificing our families keep getting paycuts”. Pathetic excuse for a company.

I was with the company for a long time. My biggest issue with the organization as a whole is that many of the individuals promoted to leadership roles received those roles with minimal to no experience in their respective fields. Many of those individuals have really no business being leaders of people, and tend to create toxic working environments for their teams. Most of the time messages would be left on read or just unreplied to. This also leads to cloudiness on organizational charts and career growth. People tend to be incredibly defensive of their jobs when you try to collaborate, often leading to conflict. This makes one not want to suggest potential pinch points or areas of improvement. "Stay quiet and stay in your lane".

On the positive side, managers are flexible with your hybrid schedule, and pay is good. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best thing at Nextier is it's a weekly paying job. Their equipment is in bad shape, the management doesn't care about anything except making themselves look good. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with management, and dispatch. And breaking down with equipment that is never repaired.

Everyone has a no care attitude, and only care about themselves. No team work environment. And their medical insurance is very costly and doesn't cover very much. Everything needs prior authorization.

Be ready to be walking in burnt motor oil all day, the equipment leaks terribly in the containments

a typical day at work:
- Typical work schedule is 14 on 7 off rotational shift of days and nights at 12-15 hours.

what you believe you learned:
- Field operations: you meet and work with great people and are always learning new skills.

management:
- Due to buyouts, mergers, etc. seems to be a revolving door of management ideas, priorities, changes, process, spending, budget, etc which ultimately seems to affect the people on the ground. Have a loss of morale, just a # and unappreciated.
workplace culture,
the hardest part of the job,
the most enjoyable part of the job
