TekSolv

A typical day at TekSolv often involves uncertainty right from the start. You might not know your schedule until the end of the previous day, which can include anything from local assignments to long travel jobs. Travel days can stretch 6 to 12 hours, and often after a 12-hour shift, you’re expected to drive back home—sometimes driving an additional 6 to 8 hours or more. Unfortunately, employee safety during these long travel hours doesn’t seem to be a priority for the company.

Scheduling is unpredictable and stressful—TekSolv management frequently changes plans, sometimes threatening employees if they raise concerns or push back. The expectation is to comply unquestionably and adopt a “yes man” attitude to succeed here.

Despite being labeled as “rescue technicians,” more than half of the team lack a clear understanding of their duties. TekSolv disregards OSHA training guidelines, encouraging workers to overlook safety protocols in favor of customer demands, even when those demands contradict OSHA standards. This disregard for safety makes the work environment truly hazardous.

If I were a potential client seeking to hire a service company, I would continue my search elsewhere to avoid the likely risk of catastrophic accidents at their job sites. The workplace culture is rife with drama and prideful attitudes, making it an unhealthy environment. Additionally, termination can come without cause or any prior discussion, as management often lacks the communication skills to have genuine conversations with employees.

Overall, TekSolv is a challenging place to work, with poor regard for employee safety and wellbeing. Employees should exercise caution and consider other options if available.

A typical day at work would include traveling to 3 to 6 different sites, (drilling rigs, frac sites, work over rigs, etc) installing or performing routine maintenance on H2S and LEL gas detection equipment. At the beginning of the shift a coworker and myself would attempt a game plan and driving route for the day, however the day never went as planned. Emergency call outs, gas calls, and emergency rig ups or rig downs were common, and the job never got repetitive. I learned quickly how to gauge the time I had and the amount of work left. I was proud of the work I did and problem solving was a perk to the job. Rather than replacing equipment I prided myself on my ability to fix equipment in the field, and make sure the customer, that being a company man, or even a rig hand felt comfortable with the conditions of the equipment. However rare it may have been, being in safety, I enjoyed being told that the work I  did made someone feel a little safer at work. That was my only priority at work. Safety and Rescue. If I had to walk into an H2S environment I would, if I had to make an unpopular decision, like shutting down a whole rig because the atmosphere was potentially dangerous, I didn't second guess myself. I loved my work. I just wish the company was managed better or at all.

The freedom associated with this job is great..Until the supervisors get involved.  A few are very good bosses, but the majority are worthless. They barely do their jobs, cover up not adequately training their employees and constantly lievto their subordinates and the Company Men...Then they blame the guys in the field for the things that they should be keeping up with. 
All the bosses are best buddies, going clear back to high school, a couple years ago, and the best perks are given to them...They don't look out for the guys in the field, could care less about doing their jobs and are scared to death of the Company Men...They refer to their "subordinates" as motherf#@*ers, and don't care to keep consistent contact with their field workers, unless you're their friends on FB.
They want to pass the sensetive work down to the lowliest, least senior employees, and when they do show up on site, they're only there for 10-15 minutes, and gone.
EOR.

I have worked for TekSolv just over one year. This first year at TekSolv has provided me with many great experiences from consulting, confined space rescue standby, safety manager for a Coke producing energy company, and as a safety manager in the D.C. area working with decontamination teams during the COVID 19 crisis. 
Not only does TekSolv provide these opportunities but they care for and treat their employees as family. This great working atmosphere motivates us TekSolv employees to treat our customers the same way! TekSolv will provide your business with capable professionals to help guide your business through the many challenges of Environmental Health and Safety issues that your business may face daily. Call TekSolv today to get on the compliance track right away!!😁

Teksolv is one huge "somebody knowing someone" type of place. A lot of people know the owners or are best friends with them BUT if your one of those who are not than be on your toes. They reward everyone they know & I have seen great people being let go left & right who aren't apart of "the group". You bust you rear for very little benefits & zero security that you have a job. There is a lot of dead weight here making your job even tougher & will have you scratching your head how they are here but others aren't (who you know). I couldn't imagine anyone working here with a family & never knowing if you will let go any day coming in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you enjoy a blue collar job working around a bunch of tattletales who talk so much mess about the company, yet still work there, this job is for you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The unprofessionalism within management.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Though they glorify no drugs or alcohol, some employees still do them and get away with it. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
standing in inclement weather for nothing to happen.

Overall, for someone starting a career, TekSolv is a wonderful opportunity to make connections, receive a good benefit package, and earn around thirty-five thousand annually. Unfortunately,  the cost of living has increased so much, 35k in the oil field, doesnt cut it. One has to provide their own transportation, driving horrible roads and leases. It's hard to advance due to the office not being strategically located.

Loved my job, enjoyed working for the company. I worked all my shifts and then some, only missed work for two seperate emergencies. Was laid off all though there was at least 6 or more hired after me. Was not do to my ability to do my job, never had a bad report. With new field tech bosses, they just had their favorites even if they called off, and or had bad reports. Their loss!!

I thought I was doing a great job and reorganized the whole area getting it up to code and OSHA standards. On down time, painted and found other jobs to help improve the company and then suddenly told that they were going in a different direction in occupational health and I no longer had a job. They waited till all the big bosses were out of town and told me over the phone, we all spent alot of time together and I thought we were friends. No respect for their employees and you never know when they will let you go for no reason.

I'm not going into all the details but the number one reason to stay away... Is the supervisors, "think" they own the entire company, acting way above their pay grade and treating new employees like they're nothing. Two, the supervisors are so lazy they won't train new personel properly and throw you out by yourself. Lastly, the manager of the district is so blind he can't even see how bad the supervisors are to the company... so.. stay away from this company and find a different job you'll be glad you did.
