Pason Systems reviews

Management is difficult to work with, this is to include HR. There are only 3 people running HR for the USA division but truly on one guy is in charge of HR for about 500 individuals and he has little man syndrome. They all say to use the "Pason Culture" in difficult times when dealing with a co-worker or a manager, but really it means nothing, and is just the perception pushed to the employees that you have rights and that you will be heard. But sadly when you speak up about inequalities and favoritism and the workload, prepare to have your workload increased because you made your regional manager look bad and well if you burn out no big deal, they have people lined up to take your position. The hardest part is dog eat dog culture of the field techs, if you don't bow down to a senior tech's "experience and know-how" just plan on being shunned from the group. Then when you are getting slammed with work, no one comes to your aid. A field tech is on call 24/7 and is expected to go out on the route when there are no calls and visit with the customer and check on the installed equipment, then after being out 4-8 hours you are expected to take all the night time phone calls and usually usually an emergency call out. When and if you get back to your house with getting another phone call you get a couple hours of sleep and your day starts all over again. The big problem here is getting enough sleep while you are on call for 14 days straight, thats right you heard me right 14 days of 24 hrs a day. Then yo get about 3-4 days off then another 14 days straight. Housing is always an issue in the oil field, and their monthly compensation for cost of living in the boom towns is far below what it takes to live up here, so you end up spending a lot of your income to take this job. Again small man syndrome is in charge of that decision.

To "Solid company, good people," no I don't have an "axe to grind." My goal was to merely give people information on the department and some of the things that happened there. If this information helps people make a decision on whether to work in that department or not, that's up to them. Personally, if I had read a review on the department before coming on-board, I would have declined the offer. I am not sure how long ago you worked there but things could have changed in the last year or so. When I was there, there was more than one person in the department that had issues with management. After the fact I also learned of a very high turnover rate in the department. Suddenly things started to make sense. I was told by a teammate that I just have to get used to the behavior of management and quite frankly, it was not something anyone should have to get used to. When I was hired, it was for my experience (I had been doing the job for 16 years) but when your manager tells you in a one-on one meeting that you are not allowed to have any ideas or allowed to pass on tips and pointers to my co-workers, this reinforced that this was a place I did not want to work. After less than two weeks there, the manager came to me and said they were "overly concerned" at my lack of prioritizing, yet they did not tell me to do anything but research, read and meet/talk to people (I was 95% done since we had to track every minute detail of what we did). When you leave the building every day feeling stupid and inadequate because of the actions and words of your boss, it is not a healthy place to be. I could go on and on about what happened there (there was a lot more than this) but I won't. At the end of the day, it was the worst time I have ever had on a job and the worst boss I think I will ever encounter. It was so bad I packed up my desk after three weeks and started looking elsewhere. Just food for thought for anyone that wants to read this. No axes to grind here, just some facts of what happened to me during my time there and if this makes people question things when interviewing there, then this has accomplished what it was meant to do.
