Gibson Energy

Gibson Energy was a fantastic place to work until they started downsizing and closing field offices.  Causing them to bring in people from other areas that had already closed and were willing to relocate and do different jobs without the proper training.  Some of the management   could use courses in How to be a to be an effective manager. The overall atmosphere of the employees was good a certain comaraderie was evident in the employees even of different departments. Lots  of the employees Remain friends outside of work.  The hardest part of the job was finishing the entries for the month end, when receiving them via mail and courier in a timely manner.  The most enjoyable part of my daily job was coming in to work to see people smiling and enjoying what they were doing no matter if it was month end or not.  It was a learning experience how to work under extreme pressure and in the time allotments that were given and being successful at it.

Unfortunately this workplace has deteriorated over the last several years. The pay and the benefits are excellent but the management and culture have definitely suffered. 
The management is lackluster at best and sometimes toxic at worst, where they pass the buck, don't follow through, don't provide leadership and don't communicate with each other or the employees. 
Sometimes it feels like the company is filled with a bunch of cowboys who all do things their own way and think they are right and won't do any research about how things are done. Everyone thinks they are an expert even though they have only worked at that one company for their career and haven't seen any other way of doing things.

I enjoyed working at Gibson Energy and was disappointed when my position was moved into Edmonton, and it was not feasible for me to relocate.

I was on shift work, 8 days on and 6 off.  My typical day was 10 hours in the office, and I continued into the evenings with the company cell phone to dispatching after hours.  I would dispatch for 24 hours while on shift.  This would have been the hardest part of the job as I would receive calls throughout the night.

They reviewed our goals and achievements on a yearly basis.  
The salary was fair.  Had excellent benefits and company profit sharing.

I worked at Gibson for a number of years and at first I really liked it. Quickly, things went downhill and it only continued to get worse. I won’t get into all of the logistics behind this comment, but will tell you that if you want to work for a company that could care less about you as a person, hold you back from enhancing your career, fire you if you stand up for what is right or if you have an opinion (or suggest going to HR for issues you are having) this is the company for you! Be prepared to be miserable and completely shattered throughout your time there. 
It is truly an awful and upsetting place to work. 

Over 20 years with Gibson, I progressed from a field engineer responsible for operational maintenance and project management up through business development, looking for new corporate business ventures, and ultimately to operations management. At no time did I feel that I was being subjected to repetitive, pigeon-hole type roles with the company. Always something new to keep to days interesting.

The first 2 years at this company were enjoyable.  I learned very quickly that the employees were very clicky and if not in the click - you meant nothing.  Our department was offered a bonus incentive if targets reached.  As soon the first target was accomplished they pulled back the bonus.  Then they cut it out all together.  The atmosphere was very quiet as no one talked to each other.  I left the company in order to retrain in a different career path and have never looked back 

The company was great until the new CEO came. With him came my-way-or-highway approach. Culture of fear has penetrated all layers of the company. Employees great each other with "I'm still here". Competent C-suite has been largely replaced with incompetent office politicians. No long term strategy in place, which is why they constantly focus on cutting Opex. The overall consensus among employees is that the company is looking for a buyer.

Some departments not bad...truck transportation very poorly managed in certain area (Edson) no room for advanvement. Person who quit and walked out in November back in a higher level position....this is after she had threatend to quit on 2 previous ocasions.

After 30 years with the company which I dedicate my life to and was proud to work for them. You think that means something to them but it doesn’t, people who get let go or terminated get a package and I put 30 plus years with them and it means nothing. You are a number and even a person, there are so many people that do every little to nothing and management thinks they are an incredible employee. They are so out of touch with their employees.

Dealt with many customers through inside sales calls and cold calls. Learned an abundance about the Oil and Gas industry.
My Managers, Jeff Warner and Orest Yasinksi were the two best Managers that I have ever worked with. Always an open door and had the answers. 
Hardest part of the job was being on call 24/7 with busy nights and mornings. I enjoyed the team and new projects.
