TETRA Technologies, Inc.

It is a great place to work along side your employees but management is to worried about fishing, hunting, building houses and take no time to check on employees. Constant problems are brought to management attention but are ignored til a big problem happens then blame is placed on employees and dont expect a raise here unless you quit and come back asking for more. All your told is you havent done this or we dont have to work load to support that raise but you can work for 6 years and be put into a supervisor role and never once see a raise unless your buddy buddy with upper management. And it's sad the Greenbrier yard has the best water transfer guys but management is so busy doing everything else besides working to find more work. So we get sent to other yards through out the US to help them out because greenbrier has no work and dont expect coordinators to help out either most the time they are in a motel room sleeping or chasing tail to actually check a job site out and wanna help make a job run smoothly. But when your working expect to stay gone out of state a month or two and when you have no work your out of luck unless other yards need hands 14+ hour days 7 days a week.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff, supervisors and systematic way of carrying out every task was an awesome opportunity to be apart of. It was almost easy to be good at my job. If it wasn't a temporary position,  I'd like to believe id still be working for Tetra Tech.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It was 7 days a week given the temporary circumstances. The job was disaster related and efficient use of time was of the utmost importance.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you show up on time you are of value and worth their time. It's impossible to fail if you just show up.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Interaction btw contractors, supervisors and rarely constituents are every day unavoidable requirements. Basic communication skills are necessary.

Im a current employee. There’s a reason this company is always hiring: the morale is terrible. Employees are treated poorly, and management shows little concern for their staff.
Need a day off? Good luck. Looking for clear communication? Don’t expect it. Want equipment that isn’t outdated or constantly malfunctioning? Think again.
Supervisors often make employees feel unappreciated and disposable. Instead of focusing on improving workplace conditions and addressing the high turnover rate, many employees spend their time gossiping or trying to get others in trouble.
The company’s biggest problem is its inability to retain workers, yet little seems to be done to address the underlying issues. Until management starts valuing employees and creating a more positive work environment, the cycle of turnover will likely continue.

Forget your personal life, dreams, aspirations, and your family. Once Tetra gets ahold of you they own you, don’t let the good wage fool you. You might make decent money on the hour but be ready for constantly changing standards, schedules, and not to mention a HEALTHY dose of work place drama. There is one hourly employee that is untouchable and bully’s the other operators. They have threatened to “meet outside the gate” on several occasions and never gets so much as a talking to. The equipment is cutting edge for 1996 and that’s probably the last time it was properly serviced and maintained. They talk big about it being a “family” atmosphere, if I had a father and mother like that I’d sue to get emancipated. Great place to get hands on experience given that everything breaks down and you can always move across the river in a couple of years to a real chemical plant.

This was the far best company I have ever worked for. Unfortunately I was laid off so I don't have the pleasure to experience the wonderful working atmosphere at Tetra.
My typical day consisted of getting the phone system turned on a little early in the morning, making coffee, sending out any mail or FedEx, looking around the office to see who came in and who may be out for the day. answered all calls that came through the office, answered any emails, assisted with human resource...
There was no hard part about this job because I loved being there and loved what I was doing.
The most enjoyable this about that job was I was never treated or felt left out or felt mistreated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Just an all around good company to work for. My project was up and I found a new job but I have zero complaints regarding Tetra Tech.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You work long shifts and that includes Saturday. One day off a week until the project is done. Lots of hours-

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some of my coworkers were friends I’ll have the rest of my life. That includes supervisors and managers. The morale was great.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start very early, and you stay busy until the end of the day sometimes going home wishing you had more time to finish something up. You will work long hours with this company

There was no training provided to new employees upon starting work. 

A typical day consisted of reviewing and analyzing invoices, receipts, etc. to build a Project Worksheet (PW) with the assistance of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) on behalf of the City of Houston in order to be reimbursed for Emergency Procurement Services before, during or after a natural disaster, such as Hurricane Harvey. 

You are not in contact with your manager/supervisor.

The hardest part of the job was comprehension of your work due to lack of training and minimum access to helpful resources and attempting to meet a deadline without proper guidance. 

The most enjoyable part of the job were the co-workers.

Great working environment with professional management and co workers. Strong planner and problem solver who readily adapts to change; work with motiviation and exceeds expectations. Hardest part was mulitiple priorities , but was always able to juggle mulitple priorities and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. I was able to maintain a sense of humor under pressure.The most enjoyable part of the job is that I earned excellent remarks on performance reviews with citations with excellence in areas including work volume accuracy and quality;ability to learn and master new concepts; positive work ethics; and commitment to providing unsurpassed service. Excellent team effort.

TETRA has been a great place to work as a temporary employee. I love the people that I work with and they have all been so friendly and helpful. There are a couple of kinks in management, but none that can't get ironed out easily, and certainly nothing personal. The employees here work very well together, and I can ask for help at the bottom or the top of the totum pole, and they make no big deal at all about it. I would like to be making a little bit more as a permanent employee, but I have remained temporary for several months in several different positions within the company.

Terrible management. No days off. Talked to and treated like a dog from supervisors. Rig up supervisor really thought he was better than everyone and basically treated people like trash. Constantly downing you and threatening to fire you if you dont do what he says. Advancement is primary based on a good ol' boy system and how much you can suck up to management. Pay was ok but you were never home to spend it. I really could'nt believe how they allowed there set up and tear down supervisor to treat people i cant stress it enough. He honestly looks at people like there less of a human being than he is. If you have any pride, and self worth this is not a place for you.
