Pros

Decent guys in operations who are stuck there, everyone has a resume out and they want to get out of that concentration camp in Ft. Sask.

Cons

- Management is incompetent to the point that they would not get a job anywhere else. They were all fired from their jobs by Enbridge during the Spectra buyout and through connections/nepotism got jobs here. One of the shift supervisors does not have a clue about operations/ has never operated and got a shift lead role. During a plant trip , she did not have a clue as to where critical equipment was/ what to do for a path forward. - The plant operations manager is a lunatic/psychopath who treats people like prison inmates and children. Experienced operators are not being heard and being silenced when they speak up. This man has the leadership ability of a paperweight. The evidence is clear in the fact that the plant has over 100% turnover in operations. Over the last year 19/20 operators have quit and left. People with 4 months of experience are being asked to lead major projects involving serious risk potential. - Do not go work here unless you have 0 options or are about to become homeless and need that paycheque. If I could give this place less that 1 star .. I would. Take this review very seriously before you accept a role with a bunch of jokers.

Pros

Corporate in Calgary are bringing infrastructure up to 2015 standards. Corporate had many professional people to assist operations in the field

Cons

Poor leadership at the Schaefferstown, PA District Office. Lazy management that is more interested in hiring friends than hiring qualified people. District Office provided no support to Terminal Operations in the field. More interested in relocating friends from California than hiring, leading, and developing qualified people locally. More important to hire friends with the same religious beliefs.
