If you want to be micromanaged, thrown under the bus, and used and thrown away like a dirty rag - then this is the place for you.  You will be hired for one job and then tasked with another while your completely incompetent supervisor micromanages and screws everything up and then blames you.  You will then be fired for not doing the job you were hired for, even though you were told to do something else.  There is no communication other than spreading of gossip and private health information (HIPPA violations).  Everyday there are fires that needs to be put out because of poor planning by management, but management will not take the blame for their own mistakes.  You will be blamed for not getting a 5 hour job done in 5 minutes without any heads up because your supervisor dropped the ball.  The equipment is garbage.  Owners want to cut corners on everything and buy cheap from China.  Employees are not respected (he would buy them from China if he could), they are viewed as disposable.  You will be fed a lie that you are part of a "team", but this is only when it is convenient to the small group of micromanagers who filter all information that gets passed to the owner to make themselves look good.  Shop manager is clueless and has no management skills other than being a puppet with his strings being pulled by the owner.  If you just need a temporary paycheck, then go for it.  Otherwise there will be no advancement for hard work since the company operates off misinformation passed to the owner through clueless & incompetent management staff.

Company treats people as disposable. No care or concern for employee, often time was put in dangerous situation in order to "be part of a team" and "get the job done". There is no team. That is only a line you here when it is convenient for the management to cover up their lack of planning and poor choices. I've done hard work and have no problem with hard work.  This is different, this is poor planning and poor management which leads to shortcuts and dangerous conditions.  My  supervisor was no good, never knew which personality would show up that day.  If it was after noon, you had a pretty good guess. The only time they drug test is when you are hired and if you are injured (spend a few days at the job and you know what I mean).  Local housing is disgusting, roommates are real cockroaches, fleas, and bedbugs. They may as well be slum lords. Best choice is to use them before they use you. Start looking for another job as soon as you are hired, get paid and move on.

They are a corrupt company paying to be marked off on regulations. They also keep employees separate (Racist) and in unsafe conditions. All of these employees are hard working and are treated unfairly and the supervisors and management are  completely inconsiderate. They don't even give you a chance to get heard out. Don't work here unless you want to be uncomfortable and ignored. The supervisors are incompetent and refuse to provide equal opportunities in labor. Wages aren't equal.

I interact with both management, field superintendents as well as consultants, engineers and project owners.  I have learned that what we do is integral to everyday life providing service to the community as well as protecting the environment.  Culture is best idea wins.  Hardest part of the job is keeping up with all the activities.  The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that my team has my back and that the managers will help me in anyway they can.

Working at this company is like working at a carnival. Nothing but clowns and yes men, you will never get credit for anything you do. Management is terrible, communication is just as bad, and the environment, if you can deal with your supervisors talking down to you and acting like you are stupid, you can learn a lot. But don't talk back you will get fired doesn't matter if you are right or wrong.     

this job was one of the worst jobs I've ever had. one of the yard managers was nice and knowledgeable but the others were micromanaging and didn't know what they were doing. you will do one job many times due to managements lack of planning, there is a total lack of safety for laborers in the yard and there is no job security. if you need some money, go ahead but don't expect to be there long and expect to be treated like garbage while you are there. 

This company has the worst upper management I have ever worked for. Very unorganized, supplies needed to complete jobs lacking. Utilizing oilfield equipment, but always stating its nothing like the oilfield so forget everything you know. Come on you are still drilling a hole in the ground. Acting like they invented drilling, but always piecemealing out next steps to do. Experieced hands be warned do not go to work here ever!
