World Oil Environmental Services

Fast paced environment with working hours that vary depending on your role. Certain leadership in the refinery could use some training and possibly an attitude adjustment. For the most part, everyone works as a team towards accomplishing the same goals. The pay is fair, but leaning towards the lower side of the scale for the industry. Multiple personnel turnovers for entry level positions once they realize what they are actually getting into for the wage offered. Pay increases are normally offered on an annual basis with end of year bonuses if you qualify. As with most locations, if you are dependable and great at your job, there is room for advancement, but only in Operations. If you are Maintenance, you will most likely hold your title for the duration of your time here. Also, on that note, additional duties may also be assigned to you with no increase of pay. Be aware of your expertise and speak up about compensation for extra duties. The benefits are standard with matching 401(k) if you are interested. Overall, the culture can be stressful at times. Prepare for some long days and to be rushed by supervisors to accomplish daily tasks. Just always work safely and be aware of your surroundings. Don't proceed with evolutions that may be asked of you from time to time without assessment and looking at the big picture first.  

When you start, you get assigned to a trainer. You don't get let out on your own until you feel confortable. Sometimes the trainer is a bit abrasive but it just depends on the attitude and age and background of the individual. Once you're on your own,  dealing with Dispatch is another battle. They can be childish and unprofessional.  Depends on the person.  There was one girl that was like that. Other than that,  once you're on your own it's ok working because your not with a trainer,  or dealing with the supervisors (who sometimes can be unfair and have favorites)

you will train with multiple drivers and see how each one does the job differently but effective and create your own methods.  there are times you will push harder then other days but not rushed from management and dispatch.  if you have a problem or an idea on how things can work better on your route they will listen and try to make it work. Dixon managment will go to bat for you to the higher ups and tries to help with what is needed to get job done.  things have improved for the better in last few years with new structure of pay and the doors being open to communicate with each other. yes there are sometimes issues with other drivers but that's anywhere you go.

For me (and this is why i left), a typical day at work was driving a minimum of 5 hours round trip. I learned a lot while i was there about  automotive/industrial waste storage and hauling. The workplace culture couldve been much better, by that i mean management has their couple favorite drivers who got the best routes. For me hardest part of the job was being drowsy from driving 5-7 hours every day. Best part of the job the first few years was being my own boss most of the time, management left you alone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working for world oil environmental is the employees we were family we all care for each other 27 years best time of my life 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting up on Monday but always looking for Friday 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Best place to work I would still be there but the commute was torture 80 miles a day sometimes 
3 to 5 hours daily 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Like  a vacation if you have fun at what you're doing it is not work it is fun

If the right agencies (Federal and State) were to come in and inspect the transportation fleet along with refinery operations it would not surprise me that they would be facing a very hefty fine. 
They talk a good game at treating their employees fairly, but the reality is they do not! It's a very sad place to work, morale is terrible and workers work long hard hours for no overtime pay.

Overall great place to work at 
No set start times and plenty of overtime here if needed
However not much room for growth you can move around different driver positions however it's not a raise promotion simply different work for same pay.
Part of the Teamster union
Alot of gossip between drivers/management learn to ignore. 

Employees are treated like valuable members of the team and management listens and addresses issues.  You never feel like a number or just another employee.  Senior management knows your name and is on a first name basis with everyone.

Good pay and great benefits.  What company does is critical to California and the Southwest.  Proud to say I work here.  

I can do my job without being supervised.  Work at my own pace. 
 Allowed to make my own decisions.  Management is extremely knowledgeable.  Feel like I can come to my supervisor for anything.  Hard part of my job is to be outside, whether hot, cold, snowing or raining.  Job is rewarding because you know you well served customers at the end of the day.

It's a good feeling knowing that you're working to do so much good for the environment! It's a Very rewarding job!
My supervisor is like no other that I have ever worked with and for!
