Pros

Company always looking for a ways to expand is now the number one pipeline company in the US. Wage is middle of the road. Benefits are OK.

Cons

Bonus are bad they say they are based on performance and other factors they have never been performance driven everyone gets the same bonus at the field level. Dont get me wrong at least we get a bonus but when the CEO gives his speeches at least practice what you preach. Raises are always under 3% no mater how well the company does. Company does better every year but they keep taking things away we used to get stock options....not anymore and used to be able to purchase stock at a discount.....no more. Those are just a few examples. The company bought Elpaso recently but by the looks of the new structure you would think kindermorgan was the one who was purchased. First line supervision needs to get paid more you can make more money in the crew by working a little overtime there is no incentive to move up.

Pros

The pay was actually pretty good,

Cons

The management is terrible, and they’re selective when it comes to taking disciplinary action. Promotions are based on who you know, not on your skills or knowledge.
