Gulf Coast Western Reviews

Pros

Gulf Coast Western is a great company to build a career with. Everything is done well; from the in-depth training, to the outstanding support. The projects managed by Gulf Coast Western are bar none and the family- oriented culture makes it a great place to work.

Cons

No cons to speak of.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you do best.

Pros

I have worked for GCW three separate occasions, which in my opinion speaks volumes about the company, because I keep coming back. I've worked for several oil companies and I can assure you that there is no company out there that is as a well oiled machine, as GCW is. If you can't be successful here, you won't be successful in the industry. Everything that you need to be successful will be provided for you. And if you...

Cons

It's a tough job, it's not for everyone. You have to have a good mental mind set for this industry.

Advice to Management

Excellent manager and I'm proud to work for him.

Pros

Currently employed for the last 3 years Family atmosphere makes it easy to love my job Compensation is directly related to my efforts Clients are treated fair and valued as people Very happy with the company overall and my current lifestyle

Cons

This is a niche job that requires significant effort, but the rewards are more than worth it...

Advice to Management

I would like to thank management for the awesome job they do here!

Pros

I have worked there going on 6 years. It is a great company to work for. They provide all the tools you will need to be successful. The training program is very comprehensive and the managers always there to help you. You have unlimited earning potential if you put the work in, Great benefits, health insurance, 401(k) and Very generous vacation time

Cons

It is not for everyone., you must have a self starter mentality and strong work ethic. If you put the time in you will succeed.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. I like the direction we are headed!

Pros

The company is run as a TRUE family business. The CEO, the office manager, and the back office are always willing to provide you with the tools and support for the reps to be successful.

Cons

The firm expects and DEMANDS their reps to work hard and always keep their investors up to date. A LOT is expected from the sales team...but it is worth it...you MUST be willing to totally immerse yourself in the way that GCW expects you to conduct business, or you will "not make the grade"....and be gone

Advice to Management

Nothing really.....they seem to have the best sales people in the business... I left for an opportunity in a different field

Pros

Family owned firm treats you like family even during the tough oil market we are in (Beverly the CEO’s 84 mom has been here for decades)with good benefits. The training program is detailed here and a great place to start a career in investments/sales. All sales staff go to well drill sites and meet operators within their first year. Product knowledge and regulatory standards are taught in great detail.

Cons

Not enough room for career advancement due to the size (50 employees)

Advice to Management

Keep promoting from within and listening to employee feedback,this was improving significantly before I had to relocate to another state.

Pros

This job has huge earning potential! The commissions are real.

Cons

Must be comfortable selling over the phone.

Pros

Nice office, that's about it

Cons

You are swindling people into making an oil investment. Nobody makes any money. It's all about finding wealthy people that need a tax credit. if you have no moral compass, feel free to try and make sales here.
