Shamrock Environmental Corporation

I agree 100% with the reviewer who spoke of the kiss-butt rules of the company. It is the same at all departments as at corporate. I have to say they can be very generous and they do "reward" the group as a whole from time to time. But to stay/get in the "in" crowd you need to be in the "good-ol boys" system before you ever arrive. And do not expect to be rewarded for hard-work or good work-ethic. Sit back and be par for the group and let the drama fly in the other direction. And from my experience there is no such thing as confidentiality... so if you don't want everyone you work with AND your hometown to know about something then don't share it with "management". And yes they preach "safety is our #1 goal" but when it comes down to safety vs. the $ or implementing the safety guidelines they teach you in class on the actual job site they are inconsistent and not well "hands-on" trained.

Shamrock pre sell-out was amazing, post sell-out was still a good place to work but definitely less about the employees and more about the guys in Tx.  I worked there for 7 years and loved every minute of it, made good money between competitive pay rate for the area and great travel pay, but it was time for me to move on.  They pay for everything, mileage, travel time, hotel, perdiem cash, and if you have a camper it’s even better.  Newer equipment fleet, especially dozers, some newer excavators, some junk, but mostly nice stuff to work with. Foreman’s are fair with time home and willing to work with you if you have to be home for whatever reasons but don’t make it something every month. Expensive health insurance, nearly a thousand dollars a month for premium family plan. All in all I would recommend them, if nothing else to get some seat time and then move to a better paying outfit with cheaper benefits.

They overloaded my crew to the point that two guys had to spend time in the hospital. They hired me to do a job but never allowed me to do it. You were never given the proper tools needed to safely do a job. Equipment you had to work with was worn out or broken. You had to be available 24/7. I was let go because of a family medical issue at home that would require me to be off a day or two, with notice at random times to help caused my termination. I was told I was not able to be available when they needed me to be. 

Started out I thought I'd like to retire with this company. It didn't take long to realize if you don't let them own you then you're not their cup of tea. There are supervisors which been with one owner for numerous years yet they can do no wrong. Plus supervision up to owner will cut your throat. I should have sued owner for leaking out information I'd given them to help financially and safely help company and owner went straight to supervisor and told them what I said even after owner assured me it was confidential.

Day can begin as early as 200am and end past 12am. Learned about the environmental business.  Management oversees day to day operations and allows you more responsibility as experience accumulates.  Co-workers are there to help when you need them and vice-versa. Job description not being exactly as it is and not having proper equipment to adequately do the job.  Getting a job done and having the customer happy with the job done.

I’ve never felt more valued at a work place. I’m not at the corporate office, but corporate is at our location regularly. They stay in touch on a normal basis and I have personal cell phone numbers of the higher ups. They answer and help immediately. I can’t speak for the other locations, but I know in OKC we have a good working relationship and I’ve been here since the acquisition and I’ve only experienced good things. When my workload was overwhelming, they worked with me and sympathized and gave me time to complete my tasks while maintaining a family/work life balance. 

Extremely fast paced company. Training is minimum. Management has their clicks they associate with. The dispatcher has no clue about day to day operations and treats drivers and techs like they are dirt on her shoes. Management will do anything to throw you under the bus and keep their name clear. Tremendous amount of forced dispatch’s and hours of service rules do not apply to the company as far as they are concerned 

A very rewarding place to work overall. Absolutely does come with it's cons including and not limited to extremely long hours in a single work week. (40 -100+ hrs). Can be very hindering if you require a lot of personal or family time. In my opinion, not a place to make a career as a field worker. More feasible if you aspire to work in management or in the office setting where workload is more stable.

The job isn’t hard but the people you work for are toxic.  They don’t care about your life at all.  The terminal managers and dispatchers only care about wheels moving.  They don’t care about how safe the fleet equipment is.  They will mess your pay check up in a heartbeat.

This place seems like a great place to work at first. But everything they tell you or promise you in the beginning is lies. Management will talk to you like dogs on the work sites..and no one does anything about it. They play favoritism alot also. And they will send you out of town without a proper notice permantley or temporarily. The people in the office act clueless when you ask them anything and tbh im not sure what they even do
