Fluidpro Oilfield Services Ltd.

Where to start, the job is easy but manager was always a mess not organizing his guys shifts properly for the job at hand which led to working over houred as class 1 drivers and forced to do the jobs or you'll eventually be sat and not worked if you said something. Manager continuously said "thats the patch" to justify working 24 hrs for 1 day rate. 

If you asked the manager for crew change because you were gonna be over houred on lease let alone getting home or to hotel you were told 95% of the time there is no crew change so they didn't have to pay another day rate.

The company in general used to pay decent 2+ years ago but since then they passed on the industries struggles to the employee, and expected the employee to accept it like its his or hers problem like there an owner in the company. while every one else in the industry gets a 5-15% pay cut as an employee, fluid pro pump hands got cut 20-50%, literally supervisors working for less then a swamper at 25 an hour in the same company.

Communication to the employees was horrible too, 95% of the time you had to hear news from word of mouth, the manager wouldn't have regular safety meetings with pump hands, my whole last year you only had meetings when there was pay cuts which there were 2. And manager didn't take 1 cut while hands all got screwed.

To recap the manager shouldn't be in his position, he has no recent experience to do the job correctly and only there because he's friends with the owner.

I waited for the opportunity to work at this company for a long time just to find out how awful it actually is to work there.  At first it was busy and the work was there, and then when it tapered off you find out who is picked and chosen for the jobs, and given the work to stay.

Constantly being flipped from truck to truck, and the trucks haven't been maintained or resupplied.  So the next poor guy to get in the truck has to take the extra time to restock it and then gets booted to another truck.

Dispatch is flipped from person to person, and the other dispatchers have no idea who's working and not working, or their days on/off.  Sometimes sitting there for weeks without work, only to find out they thought you were off or didn't know who you were.  The other thing is being sent on jobs with little to no information on the job at all, hen when you get there, special safety equipment is needed, or tools to do the job.  The operator looks like and idiot, even when the operator asks dispatch for the info, the answer is usually "noting was provided".  THATS THERE JOB!!!!  The company then tells you different, when you get there and the blamed falls on the person standing in front of the oil company.  YOU
!!

The ladies in the office are the gold/glue that holds this place together, so i give them the credit.  The management on the other hand is terrible, same with dispatch.

You either are in the "can do no wrong" club or the "be quiet and do as you are told" club. There is a core group of women that dictate how the office runs and if you are fake and pretend to care about their personal lives you fit in. If you go to work, do your job well but don't kiss the right people's assess you are out. I worked overtime when short staffed and worked through a disastrous financial department only to be tossed aside when everything was caught up and running smoothly, I believe largely due to the new manager being threatened that I was capable of doing her job. Typical Oilfield mentalitu, work you hard and kick you to the curb when done with you. Lots of the male management are buddies outside of work and most of the drivers seem miserable working for them.

There was lots of work generally, doing lots of different and interesting things. Slowed down recently. Money can be amazing when there’s work. 

Generally a pretty good group of guys you’re working with. 

I think the only negative I have to say is communication between the office, mechanics and drivers could be better and tends to get lost in translation somewhere in between.  (Think of the spider man meme with the three spider-man pointing at eachother)

No company is perfect but the pros outweigh the cons in this instance. 

I’d recommend to give them a shot when they’re busy again for sure. 

Not so great 21% don't always pan out expect to live in truck with no pay they don't tell you that on hiring at times don't charge for first hour or half hour of wait times and travel time.if truck needs better lights you have to buy.you have to supply inverter and get mechanics to install hopefully they don't bounce you out of that truck lol.one of the dispatch will expect you to jump when he calls regardless of days off or hours out on logbook will hint to rip page out.will run you ragged if you turn down work for this you will not get 1%  bonuse.

I really enjoy working at FluidPro. We have fun, but yet keep it professional at the same time. Everyone that I work with have good personalities. We have a good team of technicians in the shop, yes we have the odd one that complains all the time, but what company doesn't have that one. Management, meh.... my manager we get along great, we have good communication & I keep him on track with the day to day maintenance. FluidPro is big a safety. They want to make sure you go home at the end of the day. 

There is no work culture, horrible decision making. They will ask you to break the law and will under pay you big time.  it's a circus  ran by favoritism. They can't build or keep a team but they are great for looking under their feet mostly. They will try to save a buck from operators but that won't make them any more money, instead they end up losing much more than what they saved because of down time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Newer equipment, they're always upgrading 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dispatch, lack of communication. They always expected me to work my days off. I was always threatened that they would hire someone else to share the work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you're not a favorite you get sit or little hours 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was always nice when you didn't have to talk to anyone

I worked at FluidPro for almost 2 years, if your willing to work hard you’ll make decent money, their equipment is very well maintained and the workshop is excellent, it’s dirty work and hard work most of the time but if you put the effort in you’ll make good money, the management try there best in difficult circumstances, I left at the start of the COVID pandemic due to no work, if it wasn’t for that I’d still be working there 

Fluidpro is a great place to work if your looking to stay busy and to be able to have pride in your work. The equipment is top notch and not all run own like most places. It is a fast paced company that has diversified to keep the employees busy while the covid slow down happened. Management is willing to help out in the field when needed and is always willing to go the extra mile.
