Select Water Solutions

Great parts about the company

-amazing benefits and insurance 
-night shift had the best coworkers, dispatcher, and supervisor 
-all tools and couplings provided within the first week of driving
-easy to apply

Downsides of the company

-automatic trucks
-trucks either drive real slow when loaded or struggle to get up to high speeds 
-mechanics don't care to fix the trucks correctly
-trailer conditions varry 
-Some KW trucks have transmission problems while driving or parked 
-Some Mack Trucks have issues picking up speed when loaded up to highway speeds or there AC is out or failing (not a issue if the windows go down and its night time during summer)
-Management doesn't ever talk to there drivers about concerns they may have or anything at all
-Day Shift supervisors can be ehm to night shift drivers at times
-concerns or issues are hard to get through to the day supervisors or management since your only allowed 13 hours max to work/drive or else your written up for it or called into the office about it or if you go past 15hrs your fired right away unless your truck went down out in the field or there's a issue along the road causing delays or problems 
-the sign on bonus used to 3000 spread out across 6 months now I believe its 1500 across 6 months still, if you leave before the 6 months they'll charge every single dollar of it back untaxed (the bonus is taxed)


Final Thoughts

-4/10 company
-definitely not a great long term company, raises are hard to come by and bonuses are a joke so is the management

If you're a favorite then you are golden, you can sit at your desk and watch videos on your phone and never get in trouble. You have to suck up to the boss to be considered a good employee.  One girl has been there over 6 years and never had one raise, she stays because of the flexibility with taking off during the day. The boss in my department didn't care about you as a person. She was out of office alot due to personal problems at home and when she was there she had her door closed with a do not disturb note on the door. I worked there 15 months and never called in once and was suddenly let go with no warning or write up. The boss said I wasn't processing the amount of invoices they would like to see me process.  I was never given a set amount to process, I had been working 51 hours a week for 5 months straight due to the company losing 2 years worth of information and we were told we had to re enter 2 years worth of invoices that did not count toward our amount processed. But they kept an employee that had only been there 3 months and did not even know how to process,  she only made phone calls to vendors. She also had a side business that she did at her desk daily and the boss had received complaints about it and did nothing.  I lost 32 hrs of PTO time when I was released because I had not taken any days off.

Management does not hold females accountable for their inappropriate behavior.Their solution to the problem is provide video training to employees. Company should mandate and prioritize which pad should be assessed by roamers  due to this behavior   and numerous complaints which could lead to a safety issue on that specific pad  One example is distraction . Distraction as in between stages and breaks going to truck  and other areas  so they could make out with trainees. There are female PIC/leads involved  in this .Local company should address this unprofessional behavior in mandatory meeting as soon as possible. It creates an uncomfortable environment with individuals who are not "regular" crew members. The environment should be one of professionalism at all times on the pad or individuals will be requesting not to work with people who behave in such a manner. The policy at local company is not followed through. It does not matter whether female or male. There needs to be action done on this pad. This is not an isolated incident by any means.It is the same crew members involved. 
Crew members are there to work on a professional level not fraternize and have a sexual relationship with each other.

Typical day at work at Select water starts out with a safety meeting and work assignments. Your basically watching Pump pressure guages and documenting them along with water flow and calling it out on a 2 way radio. Assignments vary at Select water, they rotate it around to get you experience on everything they do. The work is easy most of the time. We work long hours on a rotating schedule, we get 2 days off in a row often but working 6 day schedules is common. Management is very good here, I have never had supervisors who are always fair with everyone, time off requests are easy to get if you give them 2 weeks notice, family comes first here. I couldn't have asked for better management. The guys here are great to work with, very team player oriented, professional and easy to work with. Select water / A&W water is the best in the business, we work for the biggest names in the oil Industry for many years, we pride ourselves on delivering the needs of our customers. I highly recommend working at Select water for male or females, their is very little strenuous work, primarily paper work and calling out on radios. You will need a clean MVR and criminal record.

Working at STT was an adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed it!  Working in the oilfield the rules and regulations can change day to day.  Keeping yourself educated on these changes would better ensure the company gets paid.  I reviewed the tank truck's field tickets daily to verify all of the corresponding paperwork was attached to the invoice to expedite receipt of payment from their clients.  I would verify the hours reported were true to gps and they would get paid accurately.  Whenever invoices came back denied, I would research the error, get any missing documents and fix it accordingly so the company would get paid.  Daily I calculated the number of barrels of fluids transported, by their type.  I also calculated the billable hours for each tank truck for 3 yards and turned them in weekly to the corporate office.  I was also a surrogate to sign off on purchase orders when the regional manager was unavailable.  It was definitely an adventure!

Start with purchase orders first thing in the morning and continue throughout the day as they were needed.  Answered all incoming phone calls, responded to emails, greeted customers and vendors throughout the day.  Maintained all office work (filing, copying, faxing, scanning).  Attended safety meetings when required.  Interacted with all co-workers daily, asked questions, answered questions, and met with to make sure my job duties were being met.  Hardest part of the job was keeping up with fleet of trucks (company trucks), where they were going, who they were assigned to.  Most enjoyable part were coworkers, keeping busy the entire day to make sure all duties were met.

Typical day involves hauling water and/or..doing service work.. sometimes working  in unsafe conditions.. safety will tell you one thing but you can get in trouble for abiding by the safety rules also , so you have to be cautious.. at the end of the day Select is a business and they can and will throw you under the bus in order to maintain their contracts. I learned to not look at Select as a long term career but instead to use and invest the money made here wisely to further yourself. Management was great when I started..but the previous managers are long gone, workplace culture is like I said..just go to make money and go home .Don't take this company too seriously you are disposable to them and they only pretend to care about safety in order to cover for themselves.Hardest part of the job..is probably working in bad weather (freeze etc.) , Most enjoyable part of the job is getting paid and going home.

What is the best part of working at the company?
When I leave for the day and when payday comes 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Seeing others move up and make more hourly wage than me . 7 years at this job still no decent pay job never offers any advance r moving up in the company especially if u not one of the drivers who kiss butt

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and headache . They have all the disposals seems like every one has a new company truck but the drivers can’t get fair pay especially the ones been there over 6 years r more . If they put 10,13,18 speed trucks none of the wanna b drivers can move them cause they all have restrictions 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I drive far to get there it’s slow on water they say but leads can get all they pay 12 hours then go to work n home n a free company truck every day is a joke and headache

Work like none other for months on end until you can’t anymore, go above and beyond for them, establish great working relationships, become a leader and take on more responsibilities than any individual ever should, then good luck getting a raise even after years of being with the company. They’ll promise you everything under the sun in your interview and even for months after and will deliver 100% of nothing. Above field supervisors, everyone is all about blowing smoke up your butt and telling you what you want to hear until it’s time to deliver, then they just ghost you. Health insurance is great, just pray you never have to take any extended amount of time off. They would rather cut ties with you than help you by paying you your measly wages to survive. 

Just like anywhere else, a lot of great people, with a few backstabbers in the mix. Their extreme monitoring of GPS blackboxes on company vehicles is ridiculous. They will use it as an excuse to fire employees intelligent enough to see through the politics, managerial mistakes, and excuses for low wages regardless of exceptional on the job performance. They have unrealistic expectations for the GPS penalties considering how much work there is to be done and how far there is to drive to do it 24/7! There were many quality employees who were let go for their "unsatisfactory driving" in the short time I was there, before it also happened to me. Don't work here if you expect to move up or get a raise for performance. It's a shame to watch grown men acting like junior high girls.
