Started with this company when I was younger and the years with them have been pretty good overall. Every company and terminal has there own ups and downs. The parts that were good were mostly the people. They are very nice and try to work with you whether it be the schedule or even your personal life.  The techs, IT techs, managers, directors I have met and worked with have been like family to me and hopefully I keep in touch with them for a long time. I have learned so much over the years here and I really appreciate all the knowledge I have learned from other operators, managers and technitions. 
The down side of TPSI is very evident and not hidden and that is the pay and being on call. Most terminals all pay more per hour where ever you are and have a better benefit package. They have really dug themselves into a hole with there rate per hour and are losing a lot of good operators and managers due to there competitng terminals willing to pay more. Especially when they only give a small raise per year and barely any bonus so you lose motivation over the years with no incentives. Some of the schedules can be rough at times too. Whether you work the pipelines at an inland terminal or at a port terminal your gonna work weekends and be on call. That can be good or bad with more overtime hours, but will work all times of the day. 
I'm going to miss TPSI and hope the best for everyone still there, and thank them for everything they have done for me over the years.

I worked at the Selma, NC location and enjoyed almost every single aspect of it and would love to work there again as long as there were a few changes.  The main change that needs to occur is the management.  It should never be OK to allow special treatment to certain employees just because you grew up with them as friends.  If that employee is unable to be trusted to do all aspects of their job then they should not be allowed to continue working there.  For that matter if the same employee has been involved with several minor incidents things should not be simply swept under the rug because he is your buddy or put off as to being someone else's incident to cover for them.

This company sucks to work for...they expect you to work a regular shift i.e. 8-430then be on call from the time you leave until you come back to work the next morning with no compensation....expect to work at least every other weekend....they promise you a raise then tell you that your performance rating wasnt high enough all the while never giving you a performance rating of any kind.....expect to work all hours of the night....the managers who practically never show up for work, refuse to work at night, weekends, holidays or anything other than about 6 at most a day....all the while the area supervisors let them get away with it.....and if they ask you a question of how things are going.....LIE,LIE,LIE, they dont care!!!!!!

Transmontaigne is a great place to get into the oil and gas field. 10/10 recommend if you want a consistent schedule, and experience. Moving into other terminals is definitely going to be your end goal though. In my experience management will be hit and miss, terminal managers are for the most part reasonable it’s the step below where issues are most prevalent. You’ll be asked to do more work than you’ll be paid for, with monitoring systems that barely function, and never get fixed. You’ll be told it’s too expensive to repair immediately after a meeting where you’re told you outperformed the previous year’s revenue. Management doesn’t seem to understand that your output would be more with more accurate and functional equipment. 

I loved working with the marketing department and terminal managers.  I managed a contract database and kept tract of all new contracts, renewals and amendments.  In addition I managed a second database for the terminal managers to tract access agreements and insurance coverage for all transporters entering the terminals across the country.

If you want to get into the gasoline industry this is the place to start. The pay isn’t the best and you’re only going to get a 2% raise every year, if you’re lucky. There is no Tier’s in this company, meaning Operator D,C,B or A. So just plan on being an Operator forever but doing everything a Class A operator would do.  If you’re lucky, someday you could get into a larger company but good luck because it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. That’s the only way you’ll get into a real company with better pay.  

Decent job for people with no experience. The pay is subpar compared to the industry standard. Benefits are decent. The work load is WAY excessive though. Most of the management team sucks, big time. Theres one manager here that is a top notch guy. Tons of energy and a very knowledgeable, friendly person. He really makes this place more than tolerable. 

Gauging petroleum Tanks, Addressing rack issues, Updating Trailers and drivers in the system, Taking and starting pipeline receipts.

Management was lacking in areas

Co-workers 

For the most part were enjoyable to work with 

The hardest part of the job was making sure gauges were accurate and precise. 

Working and being a part of the refueling system, working with drivers and trucking companies.

This is a great company to work for. A very good group of people to work for and work with. The Safety culture has gotten better and better for years now. They run lean, but still take care of their people. 

A lot is expected, but they give you the tools and motivation to get the job done.
