Pros

good benefits and wages for a trucking company that is trying to learn plant operations, site is becoming unionized, lots of nearby energy companies, economy is picking up and places starting to hire

Cons

new management from failing spectra energy moved in and buried the rail department and set the operations and maintenance departments against each other. Half the operations department is new and dont know what they are doing on site. no training is what i see. other sites that are 1/3 the size have more operators. you call control room and cant get a answer because there is 1 guy on the board controlling pipeline, rail, truck, caverns, frac, taking phone calls, dealing with management, random contractors walking into control room.. never seen a company so afraid to pay OT to get things done. our maintenance department is a disorganized mess, bunch of people ratting on each other. the new managers on site have driven the culture of this place into the ground

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

Compensation, benefits, co workers, things starting to get done that needed to be for a long time

Cons

Facility is ran too lean, hard to advance due to favoritism, work/life balance is poor, not enough employees, company outlook on adding employees despite extreme facility growth is delusional. trying to save money by dissolving positions and diverting workload onto field employees. On track to have a serious workplace incident. Management doesn't want us too friendly with the field employees. Us against them mentality being bred here
