Pros

The Insurance Package and coverage very good.

Cons

Hard working conditions. Worked all types of weather conditions due to on call status. No running water or bathroom. Management and former Management did not pay attention to OSHA safety possible violations or provide any PPE. Equipment was all different makes and models or really old so tracking replacement parts very time consuming or could not get. When time to replace or order parts New management said No budget for it so couldn't get or order Equipment therefore was not safe or remained unfixed. Later to find out management keeping all money;s from different depts to make their bonus.. No routine maintenance software program provided to help keep track of 28 pieces of equipment. Management had no system of it either, had to use pen and paper. Poor communication and hostile work environment from management. Discrimanated against age also.. Helped open Will Rogers, OKC and also had to preform job at original site too with no help. for 3 months. No recognition and was not compensated for pay, use of own vehicle, going to 2 sites daily. In fact Overtime was altered and cut hours so no OT on checks and when mentioned or checked into, due to pictures with time and dates on them proving I worked the hours, shortly after new management took over within 6mths they did away with the GSE position, amazingly, or dept so management could keep the money for bonuses. No separation, layoff , or retirement etc package for loyal employee who worked over 17years there. Company doesn't think the person that kept them pumping fuel, kept equipment running for all those years on minimal supplies and budget was worth it I guess.

Pros

Health insurance benefits are solid and the company has an established corporate structure. Pay is consistent, but those are the only notable positives.

Cons

Local management is ineffective, unprofessional, and visibly disengaged. Direct leadership lacked initiative, accountability, and basic communication skills, often appearing indifferent unless corporate oversight was involved. Expectations were unclear and inconsistently enforced, creating a disorganized and frustrating work environment. There was a noticeable reliance on surveillance rather than leadership. After receiving a final warning, camera monitoring became excessive and felt targeted, as if management was more focused on finding reasons to terminate employees than actually supporting improvement. The overall culture is unsupportive and transactional. Employees are treated as expendable rather than valued, which contributes to low morale, lack of trust, and high turnover. Stronger leadership at the local level is clearly lacking.
