What is the best part of working at the company?
Competitive wages for the area
Some good coworkers and knowledgeable technicians
Decent benefits compared to other companies in the region

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The disconnect between leadership messaging and how employees are actually treated.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My experience ultimately showed a clear gap between the company’s messaging about employee support and how situations are sometimes handled in practice.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The work itself was straightforward, but much of the stress came from dealing with unclear communication and inconsistent management decisions.

My typical day at Tallgrass could be described as somewhat routine but never boring; lots of day-to-day reports, emails, phone calls, guest and vendor visits and no two days are exactly alike. The hardest part of the job is handling the unexpected visitor or unannounced meeting.

It has been a pleasure working with the Executive team over the last eight years. I have several great memories at Tallgrass and highlights for me were being part of the formation of MLP Co-Investment Opportunity Fund, L.P. and PTP Holdings, LLC, and also being part of the team collaboration during our first Tallgrass Energy Partners IPO. 

Working at Tallgrass has poised me for continued growth and I’m honored to be part of this company’s success story.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Employees tend to possess a diverse set of skills.    Good learning environment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some managers and employees learn only one way to do a particular task and are resistant to embracing improvement.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Collaboration with others and process improvements are often resisted by management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive on time and do only the assigned tasks.  Creativity is frowned upon.

Was a great job a few years ago. Then company sold and culture took a turn for worse after COVID. I would not recommend. 

Expect to work long hours and commit a lot of effort only to be rewarded by threat of termination. 

There is no clear path to move forward by leadership. They seem to only want to judge employees. If you’re not in the “crowd” you can expect to be released soon. 

The people in the field are great! Great attitudes for what they have to work under. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good culture, lots of nice people 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay.   More pay, less bills= less stress

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great,  lots of good people at the corporate office.  Although the need to be onsite for my position is rather foolish as my boss is in another state

Senior Leadership in Houston is the worst I’ve experienced. Constant finger pointing and disrespectful behavior. Management changed their minds daily and accelerated schedules without having a customer or defined product. Unorganized without any processes or procedures and when mistakes were made the Exec VP yells at employees and belittles them. Very high turnover rate. 

Experienced a difficult work environment, long hours, weekend work, ambiguous incentive plans, and little reward for long hours.  Never took a vacation, holiday, or bereavement leave without being expected to work. Experienced and witnessed a lot of finger pointing and toxic behaviors.  The understood mentality amongst the team and staff was that the Project always comes first (before other personal obligations including family) to be rewarded. 

Working in the NOC was very easy. Once done with training the night shift is very easy you monitor the network are given minor busy work to do but besides that you just monitor and wait for items to drop. The day shift is a little harder because you are responsible for contacting all the techs and getting in touch with the power company and ISP's. Along with taking more overflow from the Help Desk team.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good company, depends on the department 
Steer clear of Procurement.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Constant turnover, inconsistent inexperienced management, no leadership, outdated or no processes or tools

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on the department, can be unhealthy, micromanaging, toxic

Tallgrass Energy is the worst Natural Gas company I have ever been a part of in 20 plus years of working in the Energy Industry! Their Management is pathetic and their benefits aren’t even benefits! If you want to work with people that set you up for failure and for management without backbones then Tallgrass Energy would be a great place to work!
