Pros

The flexibility about where and when you work if something comes up is useful. If you need to work from home time to time because of a sick kid or the Comcast guy, they are pretty understanding. The amount of work space is nice.

Cons

Your success at TG is based on who you know, not what you know, especially if you know some of the men at the top. It is widely known that some of senior management is grossly under-qualified. "Fitting in" is incredibly important at TG as they do a great job of embodying the practices of an “old boy’s” network. In addition, there is little room for growth as there are no new positions to move into because the company itself isn't growing and much of the workforce is older and will most likely stay until retirement. The company just spent $100M+ on converting one of their natural gas pipelines to oil. With the oil market looking bleak, this has proved to be an unwise business decision. In my opinion, there's a good chance they will need to raise more capital or end up laying off some of their workforce.

Pros

Pay was competitive for the region. Some coworkers were knowledgeable and supportive. The industry itself is stable and can provide good experience.

Cons

My experience at Tallgrass ultimately highlighted a major disconnect between what leadership says about employee support and what actually happens when someone needs it. When I found myself dealing with a serious personal situation and reached out for help, I received essentially no meaningful support from management or HR. Instead of approaching the situation with understanding or attempting to work toward a solution, the response I received made it clear that employees are largely viewed as replaceable. The situation eventually escalated to the point where it had to be reviewed externally. The outcome of that process determined that my actions were justified given the totality of the circumstances, which speaks volumes about how the situation was handled internally. The most frustrating part of the experience was how avoidable it all was. A small amount of communication, empathy, or willingness to work with an employee could have prevented the entire situation. Instead, the process left me feeling like the company’s culture statements are more about optics than reality.
