I worked there for five years and recently got put into their pip program (personal improvement program) which is intended for people that don't do their jobs. I got put there due to the fact i asked for a transfer and wasn't buddy buddy with management. They stated because i asked for a transfer to get home to my family since I was working 500 miles away and done a week on week off that they felt I didn't want to be there after 5 years!!! My location was so out of the way the only time we ever saw a boss was once a month for a mandatory safety meeting, since I didn't sit there and talk to him about work (only to my coworker that worked my route) that he felt I never did my job. The only time I would contact him is when I had a issue in the field or a problem, other then that why do I need to contact him? They told us that being put into this program ment that at the end of the 2 months I would be fired or I could take the 2 months pay and try to find another job while the covid pandemic goes on. I contacted hr told them why I was being put onto this and what they said and that I had recorded the entire thing. Hr did nothing company didnt care at all they rode the clock till the dead line that I had to make my decision. Being that I have a family and bills I took the 2 months pay and found me another job to try my hardest to support my family. I do not recommend working at this company or exxonmobil since xto is a subsidiary or exxon. They do not care about your family or your life they only play the buddy system to keep their freinds employed. I wasted 5 years and money that I spent on college because I am currently taking engineering classes because I wanted to further my career with xto (exxonmobil). They are low lifes do your self a favor and find employment elsewhere. Only reason I worked for them is I had generations of family that worked for them and and retired with them. They liked it. The way they do business now is dirty unethical and senseless. 

A typical work day for a Scada Technician was to make sure all of our sensors were working properly and that no alarms were on the web page. If there is alarm we attend to it as quickly as possible as well as attend to our duties to upgrade and improve and of the battery and well sites that the company had leases concerning. Through doing this I learned many of the problems that can arise with radio or satellite transmissions from the sites as well as how to install all sensors that were needed to maintain the battery sites. The management is more then willing to help with any problems or questions that arise or comes up in the field at any of the sites along with just the usual day to day work activities. The hardest part of the job I found would have to be the weather because it can be unpredictable at times from very cold to extreme heat with the storms and other weather in the middle. The most enjoyable part of the job was the ability to see all the sites on clear scada that way there wasn't a need to visit every site to fin out certain information.

Manager and trainer were exceptional.  Enjoyed working with them both a great deal.  The group in the office was very welcoming and everyone was helpful.  Hours had a little flexibility which I appreciated.  My manager was fantastic, helpful and accessible.  The office culture pretty standard I guess.  A lot of group/team activities.  I love the work I do and I was in a great work enviroment so every part of my job was enjoyable.  The only thing I can say that may be negative is that, before COVID, I was called out because I would go get tested for flu/strep when my allergies acted up, which is often, to be sure I would get anyone in the office sick.  I always tested negative and came into work.  Then COVID hit and precautions that I took became all the rage.  I didn't appreciate spending time and money to make sure I didn't get anyone in the office sick and being called out for taking the time to do so.  Now, I am sure  XTO has a policy if you are showing signs of being sick, stay home.  Ironic.

Daily repair and maintenance of all mechanical equipment in seven downtown buildings. A typical workday for me was meetings with engineers designers and customers. Designing a plan of action schedule timeline amount of employees needed and skill sets needed to complete the project. Sometimes a challenge would be to implement the design into the actual application of the equipment needed for the project to be completed. Sometimes it’s hard to be the in between between the engineers and designers and the end customer. That was the hardest part of that position. The best part of that position was to see it all come together and to be complete and to work as designed that better improved a building certain engineer design  

I have worked in the field offices during my time here.  Almost 100% of the people you work with in the field are down to earth and could be your best friend.  Who doesn't love being told by the people you support that they love you.  Who doesn't love getting a friendly hug from co-workers who care for you?  Not every day is a good day, and just like family, life happens. 

 In the IT field, sometimes you may be the only IT staff in your area, and report to others located in another state.  Your supervisor doesn't see you on a daily basis, so they may not know the true relationship you have with those you support,

I have my own office on the 19th floor in Down Town Ft. Worth.
I'm free to walk around or go down to the Starbucks for a coffee at any time. I work on a small team that is being made even smaller due to integration with the parent company.  Overall, XTO is a good company to work for.  There are some bad seeds in management that can make things miserable for everyone.  Outside of that, I would recommend others to work there if they have the opportunity.

I would meet the Contractor on the job site every morning around 7:30. The Contract Supervisor and I would go over the day's schedule and plan accordingly. I would check the ROW and pipe of any defects and address the Supervisor in a timely fashion. If any situations arose I would contact my Chief Inspector and we would collaborate on the next course of action along with the Contract Supervisor. 

I learned a great deal of patience and understanding that there is no one specific way to complete the task at hand.

My co-workers were very friendly and helpful.

The most enjoyable part of my day was watching the project come together like it was intended.

I have been overall satisfied with my time spent at XTO. Although I did see the changes begin as soon as oil took a dip. Then when the pandemic started, the company became very "Corporate" for lack of better word. Granted, the time that I spent at the company was a pretty crazy time to be alive in the world all together. Thats why overall I was satisfied. Because they hey paid me what I signed on for, never missed a paycheck, Health Insurance was always approved, fuel card always worked, truck was always maintained properly, they bought me the tools I needed for my job... So yeah, they set you up for success. What you do with that, is up to you...

I worked for this company for 5+ years. I had exemplary reviews and good raises. I did a great job, worked hard, and improved my position. At the end of the 4th year my jib title was changed and I was assigned under a new manager. This manager was formerly a co-worker who did not get along with me and was continuously in conflict with me. After she became my manager, she began to micro-manage me and eventually started a process of write-ups based on lies and deception. She found a sub-contractor I worked with to file a harassment complaint and I was fired.

Over load of work, learned new computer programs, helps implement new programs within the company. Company gives out Bronze Statues for every 5 years you are with the company. Constant training opportunities and classes to make sure you are up to standard for certifications. Really spoil their employees. Their motto is they will not hire a person unless they have at least 5 years worth of work for that individual. ONLY draw back are managers that fire people due to personal feelings and not being professional.
