Vopak

A typical day at Vopak was busy.  Plenty of orders for loading and unloading product.  I learned a great deal about safety and what it takes to stay productive.  Management was decent.  The managers had a lot to deal with, but I believe they did their best.  One of the managers was a little skittish on giving very good evaluations.  The hardest part of the job was keeping up with deadlines and timelines.  The best part was the salary and knowing you are getting paid for your hard work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good people and a proactive safety culture.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There wasn't any stress, calm working environment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Proactive with safety processes and the goals were clearly definable.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Five to four six days a week, oversight for sub contractors EHS.

I was only a temp at Vopak but the head manager of the CSR area was not a good leader whatsoever. She was never at the location I worked at, therefore she was never able to oversee anyone's work and yet she decided to just end my assignment one time for no reason. Also, when a position for the CSR job became available and one of my co-workers recommended me she wouldn't even consider interviewing me because she claimed I didn't have enough experience, yet I was working in the exact position they were hiring for.

Typical day starts with a safety meeting then releive operator on duty go over job task with crew for the day asigh jobs ( guaging tanks, checking temps and pressures of tanks and vessels,respot rail cars for loading and unloading, inter guages in to the pepi system)

I have been at Vopak for almost 10 years now. I have seen a lot of things change over the years that I have been here including management and operation. It has been a good place to work

Dutch owned company, ran locally out of Houston Tx.
Good benefits, wage above average for area.
Professional and experience chemical operators, with an average office support staff.

Great company to work for in the US, open culture, flat organization and work-life balance. Business does not move very fast but steady and growth is happening across the voard

Pros:  Pay scale is good. Plenty of work to keep busy with.

Cons: Poor management that doesn't care for the employees, new managers every few years. Constantly short staffed with a high turn over rate.

A typical day at work was going in at 0800 and not knowing what time you would get off. Hardest part is not being able to make plans with family. The most enjoyable part was the people i worked with.

Management  is well committed to the workers and communication  and safety is well train .co-worker's help each other  Schedule is berry flexible. Great benefits.
