Pros

The housing rent is relatively cheap and the housing in Watford is clean and comfortable.There is not much else to say.

Cons

This company does not have enough work to support the employees they have hired and continue to hire.The management is poor in that the dispatchers don't communicate with each other eventhough they sit at the same desk and there is a dispatcher revolving door.We now get milage pay to and from site,about $.47/mi which does not include waiting hours for paperwork and the inevitable Bakken traffic jams.Frac techs and drivers are to use the Qualcom device in our trucks which don't work half the time so we loose half our pay.There is a palatable disdane for line employees as we are seen as a drain to the brass.The hours are kept to70 or below and that includes the travel time at $.47/mile so actual working hours are cut to the 50s when there is work.Please beware of this when applying for these jobs.

Pros

I did get to meet many people, and enjoyed my co workers

Cons

Drive an hour to get to work to be told they changed the schedule and there is no work for me. Pay was pitiful. The health insurance they offer, is the worst ever. It did not cover my hospital stay, doctor visits or prescriptions.

Pros

A very fast-paced learning experience. Work objectives were easy enough... I never had any major problems scheduling around my classes while attending college...Much respect to some of the general managers I had, who were mostly even-tempered and helpful through their own workload... I was able to work as little or as long of a work week as necessary...It was certainly a job - and an endeavor to grow on, which brings me to my next point...

Cons

You're essentially doing the work of a Walmart employee, a custodian, as well as a cashier for a glamorous minimum wage. The transactions a team member processes deal with food, fuel, grocery, merchandise, and tobacco. If you work during the day, you're guaranteed to get a steady to constant flow of customers, and during the rare time periods where you're not assisting people you're involved with cleaning the counter and the deli/coffee section. I realize that professional drivers carry out a job considered by many to be in a most dubious category, but a lot of the kind of people that stopped in at this store were representatives of the downside of mankind. As a team member, you're putting in a remarkable effort at keeping things rolling and attempting to meet the needs of these people to total indifference, or even humiliation when something would go wrong with the erroneous P.O.S. systems or when one customer would be in a particularly rude mood. Not to mention that I felt like the company would be setting up team members for this kind of backlash with their methods of pricing. I stuck it out being a team member here, and my good will ultimately got me through the toils of this customer service position.
