Typical day (for day and night shift) includes going out in the plant and getting readings on all treating systems (flow rates, temps, pressures, levels, amine concentration etc.). Then inputting those readings onto a spreadsheet. We watch and monitor the plant for changes and make changes if necessary. We’re making rounds in the plant periodically being proactive by looking for leaks (to include hearing or smelling for leaks) or any damages. We’re also conducting maintenance, keeping up with plant cleanliness and organization. 

Management does a great job of training and taking care of your professional needs (such as FR clothing, work scheduling, etc) 

This is a self-paced program when it comes to learning. Everything is hands on and that’s the best way for me to learn personally. I entered this career with no experience at all and became an Operator Tech 1 in about a year and a half. Coworkers and management is always there to support your progression and has always been there to answer any questions I have. 

Best part of the job is learning something new everyday and having different experiences in the plant, such as running into new issues and learning from those issues while gaining troubleshooting experience. 

Worst part about the job is rotating day and night shifts 7/7. 

Great work culture. Do the job as safe as possible, do it right the first time, and do it with pride. 

Most enjoyable part of my job is the people I work with on a daily basis. 

A typical day at Targa Resources was pleasant, our payroll department worked well together, shared knowledge and processed payroll, entered data, maintained Benefits, auditing.  Our accuracy was 99% we took pride in our work, reviewed for errors often, and being proactive was a valuable asset for our department.  If we did make an error, we review why/how it happened and came up with a plan, new audit or review so we did not duplicate errors. Special processing usually had a small window to process including quite a bit of data entries.  We would work around the clock to meet the deadline.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the people I worked with, we all seemed to get along great, worked well together, Management had a wide variety of people with different work styles causing some employee conflict with  employees as they did not always get the same treatment, opportunities and work schedules ((flex).

The overall experience at this company has been frustrating due to inconsistent leadership and a lack of strong ethical standards from management. There is a noticeable pattern of favoritism, where certain employees receive preferential treatment while others are held to different expectations. This creates an unfair work environment and negatively impacts morale across the team.

Supervisors frequently change policies without clear communication or justification, making it difficult for employees to stay aligned or feel confident in their roles. Instead of focusing on meaningful improvements or addressing larger operational challenges, management tends to focus on minor, mundane issues. This constant nitpicking takes attention away from more important matters that could actually improve efficiency and workplace culture.

Overall, the lack of consistency, fairness, and focus on what truly matters makes it a challenging place to work and grow professionally.

Good benefits, good work experience, and you get to work with knowledgeable people. Just be careful if you're a potential candidate for the Houston office for a particular department, as a certain supervisor there will throw you under the bus, make false claims, and make demands of you for the sole purpose of making him look good to higher-ups, because he's not willing to do the work himself and would rather sit at his desk surfing news and sports articles. He'll also pass off his own work to his employees, and encourage you to stay late, skip lunch, or even skip breaks to "show initiative" and "be proactive." He believes this is okay because you will be "getting paid well for the kind of work you do." Also be aware that you may be hired for a certain position and then be thrust into a different one where you're not doing the work you were originally hired for, because they couldn't keep that empty role filled.

Poor direction. Poor management. Left floundering. NO COMMUNICATION between supervisors and worker bees. Struggle for control by supervisors. Making changes to equipment on the fly without proper engineering or planning or MOC's. Very cliquish. No information sharing so that all crafts/trades can grow together and ALL be informed. 
Choice of equipment and parts on the cheap end of the scale. Constantly repairing or replacing low end parts. No work orders. Just suppose to know what to do. A Harbor Freight Built Company to make a quick profit and doesn't seem to care what equipment they use so long as its cheap. HR is practically unavailable.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
I do not know how this company is even operating still. Worst experience ever, and I have over 20 years in my skill area. Unorganized, poorly managed and leadership is the worst I’ve seen in the industry.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
All of it. It started at the top. Without real leadership you have no chance for employees to thrive 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic to say the least. I am ashamed to even have my time there on my resume. If it wasn’t for the employment gap I would remove it from my resume all together 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stress. Complete stress. While one employee does nothing, the next does everything

Management in SCM is completely closed off to any ideas for growth or to make processes more efficient and streamlined. Little to no contact with management, it can be months before I hear from any of them which is great if you’d like to avoid micromanaging, but terrible if you’re looking to grow or advance in any way. Get poor employee reviews for not going “above and beyond” but if you try to, your ideas and attempts will be shot down, keeping any opportunities for advancement or higher pay (or even feeling like a valued employee) completely off the table. Very monotonous work that starts to wear on you quickly. Other than the SCM group I feel this company is a decent place to work.

Small cryogenic unit running condensate stabilizer, amine system, Glycol system, demethanizer, and normal operation of electric reciprocating compressors for process and gas pipeline transfer. Along with high pressure NGL transfer pumps to pipeline.

Not a bad place to work . The benefits are really good . Job stability was really good before Corona hit . I no longer work there so I dont know about these days . The pay is good . And depending where you work be ready to work some hours !! Especially if you are on call , your pay check will look good . The hands in the field are some really good people !! They will watch your back and will help you . Managment not so much . They are looking after they're bonuses ha . I would probably work for targa again . 

Typical work day included pulling fuel samples from pipelines, trucks and railcars and reporting findings.
Learned how to pull, calibrate, read and report sample findings
The direct supervisor treated employees unfairly and was extremely disrespectful.  
There isn't a specific training program, it's learn as you go or you don't learn and be terminated.
The hardest part of the job is finding someone willing to train properly
The most enjoyable part of the job was realizing how to do my job on my own and performing the job right.
