Experience - Casing Hand Express Energy Services Operating Employee Review

The Pay was great for the work you do!!

Away from home a lot

I got a salary and benefits. I learned not to trust corporate to do what they say. valuable lesson.

The CEO and board are absolutely clueless about how an oilfield service company works. they are all about money money money NOW. Understandable, but they are systematically screwing over every longterm employee who has any useful industry knowledge or experience. The refuse raises and promotions based on merit or seniority. The only way to advance at Express is threaten to quit if you don't get your way. So listen up new hires: don't sign a contract and you've basically got the keys to the kingdom. The CEO isn't wise enough to realize who the truly valuable employees are so he'll go to great lengths for any average joe who threatens to go to a competitor. Just don't expect to advance any other way. Loyalty means nothing to the decision makers here. When I left there were only a handful of employees who had been there for more than a year or two and most were working under new hires that made more money.
