A typical day of work consists of working at the shop from 8-5 if no jobs are on the board, repairing equipment or preparing equipment for upcoming jobs. Handling any service calls that come up, and continuing past 5pm on standby to handle anything that comes up. Schedule works as a rotation, 5 days on with 1 day off, then every 4th weekend off consisting of Friday through Sunday. Unless it is a scheduled day off, a tech is either at the shop between 8-5 Mon-Fri, on a job or service call, or on standby otherwise, weekends are standby hours only. 

During standby hours, you are to remain in local area, and available to work at any time day or night, there is no compensation for standby hours and the loss of that personal time. Service calls all involve driving to location, anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours away, and can be anything from a simple reboot to restore internet, advanced networking issues resolved with assistance from the I.T. department, or intercom issues from damaged cable or blocked line of sight for wireless antennae. 

Immediate management for the communications division in my city is good, he successfully creates a fun and enjoyable atmosphere at the shop. Overall management at this particular company location is questionable, and any advancement is given to friends of the managers or owners of the company first, regardless of qualifications or experience. I've noticed the business is generally ran and managed by an inner circle of friends since the day the company started. Consistently under-performing employees in a management position are generally just "slapped on the hand" and told to do better, even though their performance doesn't change or improve, a replacement is never considered because of the friendship to the "company" they had previous to being hired, or favoritism. 

This company has been a good opportunity for me to learn and expand my knowledge however, most specifically related to networking. Working closely with an excellent I.T. department, I was able to learn many things about routing, APN's, as well as open the door for more advanced networking. 

There is also an element of self management for the techs, we are given a job, told the details and it's up to the tech to get to location and handle the issue. Generally can do what we want while at the shop, as long as we do our work. We are given a company vehicle for transportation, that we take home to handle calls on standby hours.

The actual work performed at this company can be enjoyable but is complicated by very poor communication. Typical jobs are issues with little to no information given to the technical other than a location and a vague description of scope of work. (Internet's not working on this location.)

Very high turnover rate due to poor work environment caused by upper management. Perpetually under staffed which causes individuals to remain on call for months at a time without additional compensation. Upper management makes promises which they are unable to keep and will plot to undermine or cause an individuals to quit. 

There is hardly any vertical mobility within the company  and pay is not performance based or increased through evaluations. Typically you will need to threaten to quit or live with your current pay. 

Employees are often used for personal tasks by the owner or management ranging from working on personal vehicles, installed company equipment in their homes, or doing favors for their friends. There is also a large amount of favoritism which causes most of the workload to fall on a handful of individuals while others seemingly do nothing. 

Its a very nice place to work due to the convenience of where i live, just want to learn new things about carpentry and advance my skills and actually MAKE MORE MONEY doing what i love to do than i am making at the moment. A typical day at work does not be all carpenter work, it is a combination of things but also a good bit of down time. Management is not too bad at all. The hardest part of the job is trying to stay at a steady pace for 10 hours but honestly and truly not complaining about the down time. The most enjoyable part of the job to me is having something to keep me busy,

The companies higher management look for someone to place the blame. Promotions are last option if your leaving and they don't have anyone to take up the slack. Then they expect you to already know all management procedures without any training or instruction and when it goes south get ready either your made out the fool or your fired without even following what they call company procedure. All of this then is excused as it's a "at will company".
So don't work here if your looking to progress in the company,this companies motto should be " you have pulse no brain work for us "

Up until this last yard supervisor came, everyone worked as a team and helped each other out when needed. Once this last sup. came it seems the whole atmosphere changed and there was always a reason for letting someone go, especially the ones that had been there the longest with seniority. 
This job is a very physical job with heavy lifting all the time. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to go out or drive to oil field sites to clean and getting to meet and get to know the company men that ran the rigs.
It is a 24 hour on call job, so if the phone rings--off you go!

I have been working for TanMar for 8 months as an Administrative Assistant role. The manager of my facility has high expectations, but provides rewards and compensation when earned. The overall atmosphere in the office is relaxed and comfortable. The employee benefits are very good, as far as medical, 401K, and paid time off. As long as you do your work efficiently and with integrity, the rewards are plentiful. I plan to work here for many years!

starts at 7am-? so if you want a lot of hours this is for you.management sucks there is drinking and driving of co.trucks by the asst,manager.plus the asst.manager is hard to work with if your white.plus there is a yard manager that is sorry and doesn't do anything but spy and run to the boss to trow everyone under the bus even if he is the one that screws up,liking drinking on the job and kicking in the door to the house on the yard.its sad to say but if your white you won't last long with the management they have there.

As a member of the management staff I saw the potential for the company.  As soon as the oil prices dropped nationwide, the company "laid off" many of the people that got them to the point they are today.  The company offers good compensation and benefits to the management staff and believes that technicians will work for "lower than industry" wages simply because there is an abundance of people wanting to work in the oil and gas industry.
