Pros

Money is great, employees are good people for the most part.

Cons

The work sucks, poorly promoted management, saftey is not the primary concern (safety meetings are not even mandatory), the company wants to have the cake and eat it too. The dont hire hands to train, they only want experienced hands but how they treat their employees is horrible. They run them into the dirt physically, mentally and dont care. They will work you 16 and sometimes more hours a day, expect you to be back at it in 8 hours to do anything personal eat, sleep, use bathroom or visit with your family. They will still call you while you try and sleep on your time off begging for assistance, help, or want to know when you can come in. There is no accountability for assets, tools, or employees or customers for doing the wrong thing. The communication between customer and management is crap, they let customers tear up the equipment and dont understand why they go threw so many starters, have so much downtime etc. The bonuses are garbage, most of us would just rather not get one since it cant even pay for a cell phone bill. The tool allowance is garbage, you will easily break more than they give you in a year. Good luck on getting any specialty tools to do your job correctly. They do not complete scheduled maintenance like top ends, overhauling frames, changing sensors, upgrading panels and software when they are supposed to since it's not in the business model. This company will slowly get ran over by competitors since they are out to do the right thing and keep machines running. They do have training, its garbage, the few training classes from other companies are 1000% and though. Most employers are not trained on specific equipment.

Pros

Coming from large production gas industry it was nice to see such a family bond and not just another number. The fact that archrock invests in you on day 1 sending you to get training not just here's your truck and youll be with this person. The hiring team was a great bridge from office to field and even after getting into the field I see its the same fun environment. Now don't get me wrong its still a job and its all about respect. For example hey im still your boss and youll have my respect as long as I have yours. My mentor is great and makes me do the thinking asks the questions like how would you do this before we move onto the next task to get me thinking deeper into the task to understand.

Cons

Nothing as of yet. Still alot to learn and adjust to but that comes with any career change.
