Pros

They have been in business a long time and are still a privately owned company. Most of the management truly care about their employees and the company still feels like a family company.

Cons

The last two years were difficult times for the industry and bonus payments were minimal. J-W Power company is the only business left and is small compared to some of the other compression companies.

Pros

As with most oil & gas companies, life/work balance is good and pay scale is good, nice new office building with decent cubes. Most of the people you work with on a daily basis are friendly and helpful.

Cons

-Expect to be micromanaged, even if you are a member of management. Any expertise you have will quickly be dismissed. -On a number of occasions I've witnessed employees being berated by management during meetings, this seems to be a part of the management culture. -Communication is extremely poor from leadership down. -Advancement is based on being friends of, or part of the family that owns the company. -There's no clear direction from company leadership, tasks change on a regular basis and there seems to be no real commitment to completing projects. This is a strange quality to go along with micromanaging your employees, but they pull it off by redirecting efforts constantly. -There's no framework for providing feedback to employees, yearly reviews are non-existent.
