The company has improved, since the merger, to streamline workflow processes in the maintenance department. The merger allow the company to create more positions to fill and we were able to hire experienced candidates which improved productivity and overall shop morale. The major con in my experience here is paying mechanics what they’re worth. They sell you on a step system for promotion at the interview. The system is two part : pass a web based assessment test on various areas of diesel technology then pass the corresponding hands on assessment. Most mechanics employed have taken all of their web based assessments to get promoted but they delay the hands on assessment for every excuse in the book. They’re either too busy to do the observation or not enough qualified leads to perform the observation. Very few mechanics have been promoted within the company. There are some that have been unofficially promoted to leads with no pay  increase. Some have done this for as long as a year before being officially promoted. The turnover rate in maintenance is high due to not being competitive in pay.  Third party mechanics outnumber actual employees, have more tenure and get paid $10 to $15 an hour. Bottom line, you can make decent money but it starts at the interview. Sell yourself and don’t be afraid to turn down an offer. Especially if they try and pitch the step program at you to get you to agree to a lower wage. Stand firm on what you’re asking for, certifications and experience help. Interviews are a two way street. They need employees, if you’re a good candidate then they should be telling why you should work here. 3 out 5 because I do enjoy who I work with but compensation and empty promises rans most off after a few months.

Profrac services is great if your main priority is being close to home. Most of the work is local and normally if travel is needed it isn’t far. But also, you may be working in Carthage for a whole year but within a moments notice, have to pack up and go to Oklahoma with no days off in sight. Career advancement is extremely difficult for people who don’t spend lots of time in the front office. Job security is nearly non-existent which creates an every man for himself mentality throughout the entire district. Some believe that the Marshall location is submerged in favoritism. Workload is not evenly divided. I personally witnessed several acts of unfairness. If there was an option to rate this company with no stars I would. Although, for experienced guys, pay is decent for the area. Rules are made sporadically and broken just the same. During my time at the company I endured 5 changes in schedule, a year long pay cut, several crew changes, 2 changes with the type of equipment, there are several different types of fluid ends that require different tools. I don’t have enough space to urge you to think deeply on the decision to join the team.

I had good managers, but man was it rough on other crews. People were getting let go, because they were not knowledgeable on other crews when a little training would have gone a long way. Dont expect job security as they will take people from failing districts and move them into ones that work. Other frack companies will move people into the shop when work is slow vs letting them go and moving other districts into their regional shop. 
If you're ambitious and trying to move up, it wont happen. Many have tried, none accepted. They would rather use a temp service than advance people. Other companies prefer to move people up from within. 
I would recommend the oil fields as a whole. Many, many amazing people - and I am not BS'ing. Profrac is just going to be a bad start if you're looking to enter. Get a start somewhere else. If you're already in the industry, you wouldn't be reading the reviews. 
Other regions will also sleep through hitches and make as much as if you were busting your butt on pad.

So far company isn’t to bad of a place to start a fracking career. Its a lot to learn but if you already know the basics to the process then you’ll catch on fast. Being a CDL driver you’re valued more but the equipment needs to be kept up better. Drivers can only do so much when reporting a problem and mechanics on site don’t always have the parts to fix what’s broken. Work isn’t overwhelming either, as long as you have a good crew to back you up, you’re all going through the day together. Other then that, company is growing to be a powerhouse in this field so change is starting to become more corporate but thats normal. Being out in the field, you don’t really notice the office drama. If you can handle the field then this company is a good starter. They’re also paying more for experience with CDL, which is a plus. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. Over worked and under paid.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Job performance means nothing. Work hard and no one cares, slack off and get the buddy buddy treatment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awful. Equipment is run to the breaking point constantly and when it fails they are always looking for someone to blame. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go go go for 12+ hours straight and not get paid for the overtime you'll put in. Schedule is 12 hour days, 7 days on, 7 off, but it starts mid "work week" so you lose out on almost all overtime pay.

Looking for good balance of life? Don’t waste your time here. 
Company is always changing their minds. The best political company in the United States. They love their friends and shoots from the hip before they actually investigate any issues. 
Honesty gets you absolutely nowhere and forget about being acknowledged for doing a great job. They expect you to live, die and breathe ProFrac only to chew you up and spit you out. Wish I could give 1/4 stars on everything.

This place is based off of a buddy system, you would lose your bonus for any reason (just so the dm, and ops manager could pocket the money), checks were decent if they paid you on time. I was shorted on my check 60 hours of overtime, and it took 2 months for them to compensate me. When I did get my pay, 25 hours were regular time, and the rest overtime. They don't care about you or your family. You're just a number. Equipment is trash. I'm not exaggerating, this was my experience. I would not recommend this company. It's a terrible place to work and everyone is unhappy unless you're the eo that runs behind the supervisor like a coward.....

This company does nothing but steal from its employees. Shortly after being hired on I had received a cut in my hourly pay. I was notified about it from a Facebook post. All office employees still receive bonuses while the field personnel had there perdium taken away. During all of this we had also learned that profrac was buying other oil field companies. Management on a weekly basis tell us we dont need you, there is other people to take your place. There is a reason why they are hiring during a downturn. Nobody wants to work for them. Don't waste your time applying here.

The mandatory overtime hours,unrealistic expectations,lack of direction,lack of understanding what needs to be done.

Work until the job is done.the unit's are there only concern.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Starting a job to only get pulled to another job.then being told these units dont matter anymore.
