TC Energy

TransCanada was a decent place to work.  Their were always  challenging projects going on.  It was usually a fun place to work day in and out.

I learned a lot about the pipeline business, different I.T. aspects of working for a pipeline company, and how to balance projects with operational work.

Management was pretty lackluster.  One day we were going one direction and the next week would be the complete opposite.  Managers typically didn't know what their employees were working on and made assumptions on what they perceive and not what really is happening.

The culture was sub par due to their being cuts every year and we never had enough people for the work load given.  

The hardest part of the job was the repetitive cleanup I had to do of other people's mistakes.  This didn't get noticed by management as the disconnect was vast from Manager to Employee

The most enjoyable part of the job was mainly working with different technologies.  You had to learn a lot of things on the fly because of the lack of training.

I'm legacy CPG, and the TC acquisition has drained any joy out of what my job used to be. I have a legacy TC manager in Houston who is completely disconnected from the realities of our jobs in Charleston. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. By the time I'm given a task, the scope has changed 3 times, by 3 different people, and right wrong or indifferent, our team in Charleston is always found to be at fault. There is also a huge disparity between legacy TC and legacy CPG staff. Employees are not recognized for a job well done. Gone are the team lunches, company Christmas parties, etc.

A noticeable change for the worst, since TransCanada acquired Columbia. If I could find comparable paying work elsewhere in Charleston, I'd be gone. When I'd started working for Columbia, I looked forward to retiring from Columbia one day. I wish I could say the same about TC.

On the plus side, it's not a difficult job. It's just management that is difficult to work for.

Local management and co-workers were great. Teamwork was the name of the game with lots of collaboration and interaction. Had the opportunity to stretch my skillset to areas that normally would have been offered. Problems come from higher up, as executives consistently ignore relevant and meaningful input from middle management in lieu of their own decisions, oftentimes to the company's detriment. 

The company is very keen on work-life balance and attempts to make as much a flexible environment as they see fit. However they also "clean house" every year so job security is always an issue.

I  enjoyed the variety of work. The people are great to work with when there is an opportunity to work with someone. 

Most of the time spent working alone.

There is plenty of opportunity to take on more responsibility as there are not enough bodies to go around. Company is extremely slow in hiring candidates.


I was rewarded every year with new challenges and no real training to support those responsibility.


I never received a pay raise in accordance with my added roles and responsibilities.  Just a verbal great job we had another successful year..


There is no Work - Life Balance.

Travel was way more than originally described

This place was ok before the Columbia leadership took over and screwed the far more capable legacy TransCanada employees.  US leadership has a very high opinion of themselves and after two years of working under so many idiots I was able to move along to another company.  In fairness I have to say that Columbia Pipeline managers aside, the company is full of really wonderful employees.  If you can tell executives what they want to hear you can last here—until they screw up and do layoffs to cover poor capital decisions.  And eventually they run off the 20% who do 80% of the work.  Once a great place to work.  Now, if you’ve got to have a job take it—otherwise keep looking.

Coming into this Company, I thought It was going to be great. The buddy system here is horrible. My manager is a great guy. He tries his hardest to make his guys are treated good. 

Higher management though, does not. COVID-19 happened, for everyone. Management and office personnel worked from home, understandable. When you have field personnel working through/during the pandemic, not once saying thank you, disheartening that is.  Working with the general public put field works at high risk. 

Then TC goes through a company restructuring. Management had to make tough decisions, office and desk workers, made tough decisions to let field personnel go. Doesn’t seem fair to me. 

I thought this company was great.. I guess I was wrong..

TransCanada focuses on it's people with a philosophy that without the right people they would not be successful. At TransCanada, the mantra “One Company” highlights our focus on creating a unifying culture across their operations. This includes supporting employee contributions and requiring that all new employees complete diversity training within 30 days of starting on the job.
They also believe a job well done deserves recognition. Experience has taught them that frequent and genuine acknowledgment motivates their people and strengthens relationships, contributing to their shared success.

Management does not speak to or acknowlege employees.
Much time is wasted in meetings that had nothing to do with my job.
Supervisor constantly complained that we were behind without taking into account that we were down one person due to an illness & would not allow overtime.
Management could not decide what priority was most important.
Supervisor had favorites & did not acknowledge our efforts to get caught up. Management did not have a clue as to what our jobs entailed and wasn't interested in learning.
Any decision has to be deferred to Canada.
Good co-workers.
I really enjoyed my job. The time flew by because we were so busy.

A typical day at work was productive but a fun place to be.
I learned all about the pipeline when I was first exposed to Tennessee Gas Pipeline.
All of management were a great group to work for.   They acknowledge you and rewarded you when it was deserved and treated everyone the same they showed their employees that they were proud of them.
My co-workers were all great to work with everyday.   We were all a family.
The hardest part of my job was assuring that my job was completed daily and that was easy...I loved my job with Tenneco.
Working out at the facility and being able to participate in the Tenneco Running Team.

For the most part this company is solid. I was a contractor for over 7 years and loved it. The last group I was with had a very poor manager in place that prevented growth of the team. The manager drained his project teams of energy and morale and never stood up for his team. This is the only reason what I am parting from this company. If I get another chance to work for the company, I would...just not under this manager.
