DCP Midstream LP Reviews

I worked at DCP for 18 years, and retired in the Denver office. Ever since Wouter Van Kempen started as CEO, a new "slash and burn" strategy was implemented. Thousands of employees were laid off, and everyone else had to do the work of three and four people.

The moral is very poor. Negative people in management positions who don't train the staff and don't care as long as you don't make trouble for them, they hire friends and when they don't perform well they have other people do the work for them. Advancement is non existent, unless you are able to be a yes person and never question the process while sucking up. Management and office workers/ support don"t show up till 9:00 am and leave around 2:00 pm which makes the work load heavier on operations. Operators are expected and threatened to do everything and anything that has to do with the plant from scrubbing toilets to leading projects all while operating a gas plant and there better not be any excuses as to while something went wrong in the plant while you were changing out hot valves, tending to permits,fixing leaks,answering the front door,scheduling contractors,creating new lockouts, redlining P&IDs ect.. Typical HR default responses when ever you bring up a concern and turning a blind eye never willing to work with you, needless to say operations is treated like dirt which does not make sense when you look at a midstream company you thing operations would be its core.
