Rolfson Oil

I worked at Rolfson for 2.5 months this summer. I was astounded at the turnover rate of all employees. To say someone got fired every other day is not an understatement.
 
Some of the people I worked with there with were pretty nice guys that I still talk to. Some of the people that worked there made you wonder how they can function without a state appointed care giver. Most of the people I talked to there were actively seeking other employment.

Does not supply proper PPE safety equipment to employees. Didn't bother to provide harnesses per OSHA for working on top of trucks until one employee fell off and was severely injured on a job site.

Poorly maintained old equipment. Problems not fixed if truck would still go down the road. Run their FMCSA if you don't believe me.

The housing they provided was abysmal. Up to 20 people living in a run down trailer depending on how many people they hired and fired that week. Fuel techs had a single bed and 2 ft of space on each side and a curtain for a wall in basement. 1 bathroom 1 fridge. House was not maintained or cleaned.

Seems to lose most work with frac companies due to incompetent employees letting equipment run out of fuel and the inability to keep the trucks they have on well sites loaded with fuel and operating resulting in shut downs of entire frac operations.

Told employees all the oilfield companies were "shutting down for Labor Day weekend" when no work was available (for Rolfson that is). They didn't know some employees know the oilfield goes 24-7 365 and became mad when questioned about it.

Does not pay travel time to job sites nor reimburse for using personal vehicle even though I was told transportation to the job site would be provided. Was then told I would be reimbursed for using my personal vehicle which I was not. Hours on paycheck never matched what I actually worked on sites. Had heard from multiple employees you get paid minimum wage for your hours if your fired or quit. Idk how they can or why the person didn't go to labor board but it didn't happen to me (I guess they knew better).

The pay rate for drivers has dropped $3 hr since I worked there. On the other hand it is probably an entirely new staff since none seems to be there for more than a few months.

Very little training, at hotel 4 to 5 days a week with no per diem, no vacation pay, no holiday pay. Equiptment in poor operational state. Expect accurate delivery amounts but know and acknowledge thier meters inoperable or uncalibrated.

I had a driver safty rating of 98/100 recieved "coaching" on two hard brakes 33 to 20 mph and 19 to 0 mph. 

Received a last chance warning in my first two weeks after no training given a tablet with Google maps as navigation to follow thier pin drops and are mostly inaccurate told to go deliver... followed thier route was hauling dyed diesel went thru a " no oil field sign but pipe line traffic ok" didn't know that we didn't deliver to pipeline again because of no training followed their navigation and was picked up by a trail cam and reported. Then with the two hard brakes was fired.
The Cheyenne yard would be a great place to work if it wasn't for Texas corporate meddling in cheyenne operations. They are constantly looking to fire, was told that they fired 12 in last year before me most for petty offenses. I'm luck number 13. Beware before applying, you can earn good money there but will also spend 400 a week on insurance, you will pay for all meals 4 to 5 days a week that your at hotel. You won't get to go to doctor ( mon-fri) 7am  till you run out of hours. I would only take this job on a last resort basis.

I like working at Rolfson Oil. The job is relatively easy, the only daunting task is trying to access some of the rigs out there in the oilfields at night.

The pay is excellent, benefits are good although they are pricey. The company provides housing for out of town drivers. They have nice apartments and a mancamp but will also put you in a hotel when those are at capacity.

Dispatch will pretty much leave you alone as long as you do your job. So far I’ve had no issues with dispatch and they’ve been helpful. There has been times in which I’ve ran into an issue with a delivery and dispatch has sent another driver to assist, as I’ve also been sent to do the same. 

The trucks and trailers are in bad shape, but any oilfield truck is that way because those leased roads are rough. If you find any critical issue during your pre-trip just report it and put the truck in the shop.

The yard in Odessa has a new cafeteria with free breakfast and lunch which is a nice thing to have.  The work schedule I think is a little excessive, I wish they would do like a 5/2,5/3 schedule or a 14/7. Hopefully they will consider it someday. Overall if you are a self-starter, experienced driver who’s not work shy this is a good job, you will make plenty of money.

They’re only hiring to reduce other drivers overtime. It’s not a driving nor an oilfield job, best it could be described it’s like a parts delivery person but for oil and antifreeze using really substandard equipment some of which is not even DOT rated for hazmat.  It’s NOT a local job, you’ll be gone almost every week sometimes for the entire week. Was promised 60+ hours a week got 42-45. Position I was supposedly hired for was already filled, I was sent out to deliver a drum or two of oil but mostly got to sweep the warehouse and pick up trash in the yard while being watched on camera and sent home when the trash ran out.  Dispatch will text at 5am to tell you there was no work for the day and if you go out for deliveries she’ll send between 3 and 7 texts every single time requesting your ETA because they think you’re milking the clock, and if you don’t answer those texts promptly because you’re on I80 through a snow storm she’ll call you. Any job you do you’ll be required to send between 10 and 200 pictures of before and after using your phone because their iPad is NOT set up for texts. So if you’re hazmat driver with experience and a clean driving record and want a job with zero security and to be treated as an inmate on work release Rolfson oil is the place for you. 

Freedom to proof your worth without much interference. I learned lots and my self-development skills played out (tank tech, equipment operating, tank plumbing, pumps plumbing/wiring, Fuel Automated Box set up and operating and trained lots of new hired, location set up, ability to solve problems with eyes closed, soil contaminated control/treatment, yard/camp setup and black oil purification techniques etc.) and trained many others to deliver good services.
The management is very good if you are not lazy, friendly though more understanding, feelings and trust will go extra miles.
Days to go extra mile/extra services to secure contracts for the company on site but always fulfilled I did and justify being supervisor even irrespective of who is watching appears hardest part but worth doing.
Rabbit days at work (Pecos) ... lol, lots of fun around coworkers, supervisors and bosses.
The most enjoyable part of the work is always getting goals and objectives done to get "thank you my friend from your boss" ...lol, ability to inspired others, gift of training new hires to understanding and availability of different challenges to keep you thinking.

Great Experience! ..... 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is about the only good thing about this company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful thing about working at this company is how you're treated and spoken to by upper management. While it's one thing to provide constructive criticism, the leadership here is known fondly for using extremely offensive and aggressive language while going into a tirade at any moment towards anyone.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is by far the most unprofessional establishment that I've witnessed for a company of this size.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday, the one thing that is consistent is the inconsistentcy. Rules and policies are changing daily. As an employee it makes it difficult to know with a certainty what is expected of you.
Not to mention, you'll be subjected to managements tirade because someone changed the policy, failed to pass along the memo to all necessary parties.

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Rolfson Oil is a little chaotic at times you work your shift go home but are required to leave to go out of state with little notice sometimes as little as 5 hour notice with little regard with personal life or schedules

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Rolfson Oil are pat was great at first then the Covid hit and pay got dropped ten dollars then slowly the hours and work vanished

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Rolfson Oil, I think job security is mostly based on work load if there rigs and grace to deliver fuel to your pretty much safe but the minute those disappear so does the job security and the chances of getting laid off go up

Management
In general, managers at Rolfson Oil couldn’t tell u never answered to managers only dispatch

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Rolfson Oil is very little work independently

Overall
My experience working at Rolfson Oil it was great at first learned a new skill and gained experience but towards the end it wasn’t so great mostly due to loss of work and pay cuts

Working at Rolfson Oil as an HR Onboarding Specialist has been a truly rewarding experience. From day one, I felt supported and valued—not only as an employee but as a person. The leadership team is approachable, communicative, and genuinely invested in employee success.
The onboarding process itself is smooth, efficient, and well-structured, which made it easy to step into my role with confidence. I’ve had the opportunity to help new hires feel welcome and prepared, and it’s fulfilling to be part of a team that puts people first.
What really stands out is the company’s strong sense of purpose and teamwork. There’s a high level of professionalism, but also a down-to-earth culture that makes coming to work enjoyable every day. I’ve grown a lot in my role thanks to continuous learning opportunities, feedback, and trust from leadership.
If you’re looking for a company where hard work is recognized, where you’re empowered to make a real impact, and where you can build a long-term career, I highly recommend Rolfson Oil.

It’s difficult to explain how this company works, the pay is great if you’re on a frac location due to the ease of the job. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, they have workers filling any role they can find company wide with no raise in pay for extremely labor intensive work. They dilute or “blend” hours with drive time so they can pay less over time. Management/Supervisors mainly consist of  individuals who seem to be playing company rather than making well thought out business decisions. It becomes difficult to communicate with hire ups due to being sent to another boss or supervisor in a never ending circle of uncertainty. Even now I’m being asked to write a review giving the company 5 stars so they look better on indeed instead of solving some of the morale issues that have plagued this company since before my time. I’m not unhappy with my role here I’m just going to be honest about my experience and the company’s short comings. 

I was recruited by upper management and left a stable job of four years to join this company. After just two weeks of employment, I was laid off with the explanation that my job title was being eliminated due to a slowdown in the oilfield. The first week was spent entirely in safety training, which meant I had only one week to begin working before being cut.

I was comfortable at my previous employer, but I accepted this role because the offer was highly competitive and incentivized. I was already in the process of developing new contracts for the company when my employment was abruptly ended. It felt unprofessional and unrealistic for management to expect immediate results in such a short period of time.

The entire experience was disappointing. HR appeared overwhelmed and frustrated, likely due to the high turnover of employees being laid off, fired, or resigning. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.
