Pros
The pay isn't terrible when oil & gas is up. It's standard for the industry. 8-5 with minimal overtime. Little oversight.
Cons
Aside from the pay, you won't find a worse place to work. Management has absolutely no idea of what they're doing. They took people from similar companies and gave them more money to do a worse job. They're behind the curve on every trend and have no way of getting more customers. They'll screw anyone over if it saves their job. The best employees get laid off or fired because they're actually being paid a wage that supports their performance. The middle and upper management can't stand to see a dime taken from their checks, so they fire and lay off subordinates to negate the inevitable bankruptcy of the company. Ideas are shunned in place of outdated practices. Verbal agreements and promises are made haphazardly with management's intent to never follow through. People with sense quit for better jobs but are then sued for competing with DXP. They pursue employees and companies legally but don't feel they should have to uphold their own legal obligations. (search DXP vs. Goulds). All in all, if you're the worst type of person, this is the place to be. The only way to move up in the company or get a raise is to make sure you get your co-workers fired.
