Job security, decent pay, new equipment.

No work life balance, no on call schedule your on call all the time, high turnover rate in personal and takes forever to fill position, no path for progression, safety is a low priority.
Continue readingEnergy Transfer2019-02-14Thanks for your feedback. There is a time based progression structure (promotions with higher pay which are automatic based on time worked) for time based progression jobs and overtime is offered of course for nonexempt employees. Safety is by far a top priority and the "Personnel team helped hire internally/externally nearly 2,000 people in 2018. We encourage a review of our 10-k and website for further information. Thank you, Energy Transfer LP

Pros
Most of the people are awesome to work with, with really great ideas and the best of intentions
Cons
They are the Borg. They will buy your company, keep anything they find of value and dispose of the rest. That includes people, processes, facilities or morals. This company has some of the lowest set of character standards I have ever encountered. Cutthroats, liars, thieves and (character) assassins. Being a pirate on the high seas would probably be a more fulfilling role than working for this organization. You are constantly told to produce gold-standard work with a coal-standard budget and then reprimanded for not delivering on time or on budget. This is after the budget you created 18 months before the project was approved was cut to roughly 1/3rd of what was submitted. Work/Life balance does not exist. You are an ET employee 24/7/365. Guess who's on call? Everyone!

Pros
The pay was good, at first.
Cons
The company is full of "apple polishers". Those types of people spend all day chatting it up with management, and in the end, are the people who get promoted. My manager would spend all day away from his/her desk, only to leave early every week to either take his/her kids to classes, or just because. My manager even once scheduled an appointment for a massage at 10:30am?!? He/she habitually came in to work later than me, and left work earlier than me on most days. My manager got away with a lot because she was chummy with the Controller (or anyone else who might have benefited them.) My manager let me have a good work/life balance for a while. Working from home as needed, tending to appointments and what not, until I went to HR to complain of some issues with him/her. Then everything changed once I brought to light everything he/she was getting away with. Needless to say at this company, if you "go with the flow" when you're manager is getting away with murder, you'll be good. BUT go against your manager, and face the wrath. Company cares little about the worker bees, or how much overtime they work, or if the workload is overbearing. Zip your lips if the workload is too much, because that will surely be frowned upon once bonus/merit increases come around. There's little to no room for advancement. Bonuses and merit increases are a joke. Unless you part the red sea, your work is always considered mediocre.

Pros
Good pay and benefits. Great work/life balance.
Cons
No challenge. Management is threatened by new ideas or personal initiative. Show too much initiative and you buck the system, management thinks you're after their job, and you become their target. Don't do anything until your supervisor tells you, and you're good as gold.
