Omni Environmental Solutions

The company has transitioned over the years. Originally they were focused within the construction industry and have transitioned over time into the oil and gas field. The construction side has been divided and the the energy section was sold to omni corp recently. Positives include flexible work schedule and relaxed atmosphere. Some consistency for overtime. Benefits are adequate for health and dental. Negatives  unfortunate would be, management. While they are understandably understaffed, and it is a valid argument to their side, the ones holding retention to logistics and maintenance roles are under trained and far outside of their respected fields to be qualified within the current roles. With multiple locations within the company your ability to acquire the tools or parts you need will be severely limited. Requests for parts would take days or even weeks. Trucks that needed integrated maintenance that could be performed in-house were sent out constantly. You will not be doing any extensive engine repairs even simplistic ones such as replacing jake brakes. You are limited with what you have in the shop for tools. A welder machine (whether it be mig, tig, etc) may not be there, grinders, proper frame lifting tools, die sets, or bearing kits. Whatever the case may be you will be constrained. The logistical side in full truth was one of the worst, within the 10 years I have been doing repairs on various pieces of equipment. I have never seen a high dysfunction and debilitation of acquiring parts or speciality items needed. Your day will mostly include running around chasing parts or broken down trucks on the road, straining to get maintenance  finished in shop. Supervisors are non existent, which is a core part to increasing logistical efficiency and cohesion within the company. Without Properly qualified management and supervisors these trends will be detrimental to the company as a whole and not just to select employees and will most likely continue.

Worked there for a little over month before I quit. Seemed like a decent company but the management was lacking. I might have came in at a bad time but my experience was not great. The scheduling was a joke with zero consistency to it, they wouldn't send out a schedule till Sunday for that week so I never knew what days I would be working or be off! The pay was absolutely terrible for a field position, they changed it so that our drive time no longer counted towards overtime, when you work a 12 hour shift and drive for 3 hours that really takes away a lot of money from your pay checks! Then they made us park the company trucks at the yard so we had to drive 20 minutes to the yard and then 20 minutes back to town so we lost an additional 40 minutes of our day (we already worked 15-16 hour days so we only had 8-9 hours off to eat, shower, sleep and so on).  The management changed hands quiet often and they couldn't even figure out what department I worked for. Fellow employees complained to me from day one so no one was happy and there was a lot of bad mouthing going on between the employees. The all around mood there was terrible and spread like cancer throughout the crews. All in all I would not recommend working here unless you are new to the oilfield. Operating a company this way you will never be able to keep quality employees. Treating people the way they do will run them off unless they are super green and just don't know any better! 

I have been working at Force, out of there Waynesburg yard, as a bottle driver for 6 months as of this writing, and I have had a good experience there. They pay rate here was not the best BUT I ENDED UP WITH LOTS MORE MONEY THEN MY PREVIOUS TWO BOTTLE DRIVING JOBS BECAUSE I ALWAYS GET MY HOURS HERE. The 4 and 2 schedule is great because I rarely have a week without 20 (or often more) overtime hours on the paycheck. Management is supportive yet not always looking over my shoulder. The other drivers are great, no drama or cliques. I WAS WARNED WHEN I CAME HERE by other employees that the trucks breakdown alot. Well, that has not been my experience at all. IF YOU CANT DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION THIS PLACE IS GREAT FOR YOU because it's a really mixed fleet, lots of automatics and manual transmission avialable.I dont use the health insurance (which by the way gets me a slight bonus) but I here it's good compared to what else is out there in the industry. Health /daycare/adult care savings accounts avialable, I got one. I have hauled water for CNX almost exclusively since being here and I like how they do things on there locations. After the initial hiring time when you are getting use to how they do there thing, it is very predictable, very little stress or BS. You mostly go to the same dozen or so pads over and over again to load. I got no complaints.

I enjoyed the job for the most part. But management is terrible. I trained for one day and was then criticized every day for small mistakes. The mistakes were all basically made in the paperwork, which there is WAY too much of. Instead of training and talking about what you do right, you're criticized for your mistakes every morning in front of your fellow workers. The hours vary from 9 to 14 hours. Given poor directions to new location/pad. Got lost, but was still somehow my fault. The company vehicles are old and have over 200,000 miles and all kinds of issues. Mine was making a loud noise and was brushed off as if it was nothing to worry about. So recently I was assigned a different truck because mine was going in for a state inspection. The driver's door was hard to open and close. I wrote it down on my Pre-Trip Sheet. The problem got worse throughout the day. Later that evening I was accused of damaging the vehicle. I told my supervisor it was damaged in the morning before I left the shop and that I even wrote it down on my Pre-Trip paperwork. I was still accused of causing the damage. That was the tipping point for me. Stay away from the West Union shop. Worst supervisor I've ever worked for. 

For starters the management is terrible. Trucks are junk, always shaking, they have mechanics but they are nothing more then tire changers. No Ac, no safety. People like to throw you under the bus for a 50 dollar gift card. People pull away with hoses and receive a 200 dollar gift card for perfect attendance the next month. No assigned trucks. Your pay rate includes a safety bonus and some of your raises are added to it. If you speed 3 times in a shift 5 mph over the limit you lose your bonus for two weeks. Other things can be considered for a safety violation as well. But.... Not having your proper PPE, terrible unsafe trucks, no ac, is alright with them. Makes zero sense. NO PTO time. No career advancement unless you drink at the local bar with the boss. 

Pros-work is consistent, pay is decent, co workers and atmosphere is decent, mostly production work. 

No SENIORITY. DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU'VE BEEN HERE 4 YEARS OR 2 WEEKS. THEY COULD CARE LESS.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Omni a really decent company to work for. The biggest complaint I have is they have personnel in key positions that have 0( ZERO) people skills!!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I was in the offshore department. The most stressful part was flying in when your hitch was over. Sometimes weather isn’t on your side, that means a really LATE FLIGHT or no flight at all that day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture was decent, it’s the offshore world. Things are pretty much set in stone. If you can’t adjust or adapt this life style is not for you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Transfer from flotel to platform. Have safety meeting. Get your work task for the day and  let the day begin. 9 and 3 breaks, 12 lunch. 5:30pm. Preparing to transfer back to the flotel. 12 hours days.

This is a great company, they are growing, with the expected pains with any growth. Drivers are treated with respect and have an open door policy to any of management. The above review is correct about the restroom as being only one, the other is in the main office where visitors and customers use so it's understandable that mechanics and drivers who are typically dirty are discouraged from using but never not allowed. On the bright side the drivers are never there. They are in their brand new Peterbilts making money. Their pay is excellent and benefit package is top notch company match 8% . With any business you will have disgruntled employees who rather than say I messed up, want to blame others in this case the company.

If you have a family be prepared not to see them much.   You work anywhere from 10 to 17 hours a day or longer with no breaks due to being oil field related.  Expect long days and van rides back to shop after truck switchouts and at times You work long after your 14 hours of driving especially on your last day of work.  You get a safety bonus on top of your wage and they are quick to take it away for a pay period after they write you up for any stupid little rule they must make up as they go depending who you are.  A lot of false promises and expectations when hired.  Reality is long hours, poor management, most trucks are junk other than a few new ones per shop.

good pay and benefits. Nice Brad new equipment. They have a demanding schedule but you get a lot of hours. Often times you are asked to work on your days off which is good and bad, at least your getting the option for hours. This company offers allot of different services which is unlike other oilfield companies. This allows for a variety in your work life as he jobs are not the same every day. This can though make it confusing to keep track of all the different on going jobs but dispatch, office staff, and Managment do a good job of keeping everything in order. Overall, This is a fast growing company that strives to take care of the customer and sets the bar high for oilfield service companies.

You are a number, nothing less or more. Your pay includes a safety bonus which they will take from you for any accident, water spills, equipment malfunction or anything that you may or may not had control over.

Trucks are total junk, break down weekly, most have no AC. Management couldn't care less from a safety standpoint. You may be promised the world, but you will soon find out its all made up to look good.

Benefits are decent, medical is good, dental is ok...NO 401k no matching no nothing. Vacation is 5 days for 1st year. And you get a few floating holidays paid for 8 hours. These vacation days and holidays are BASE pay not your real pay.

Your pay rate is BASE + Safety Bonus + Shift Differential.
