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

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.
