Yangarra-Resources-Ltd

Working at Yangarra was unquestionably the worst experience I have had in my entire working life. Every aspect of the company apart from the field manager, is completely unorganized. The owner/CEO is the definition of a micromanager, and inserts himself into even the most marginal, inconsequential activities, often conflicting the instruction given by the field superintendent. Cell phone usage is tracked, vehicles have GPS, time spent driving to and from work is not considered part of the work day. As of writing this, operators were described as “well servicing” labourers, which allows the company to not pay overtime until after 12 hours. If you work a ten hour day, then at 2:00 AM get called out, 2 of those hours will be straight time to top up the reg hours. Holiday pay is not paid out, and date of use of vacation days is often dictated, and you only get paid 8hr on a vacation day. Some new wells/pads are set up good,  but most equipment is obsolete and poorly maintained. EG pumpjack inspections/services are done by an in-house crew member instead of a property trained inspector. I could go on and on. My advice, stay as far away as possible.

Zero organization .  Zero maintenance program on their equipment.  No licensed mechanic on staff.  Constantly told to drive equipment that has known issues that will result in an out of service.  Management has little to none trucking experience yet they run the show, but “he’s the boss”.  Poor morale amongst the staff as they are told by management “that they are just lucky to have a job” .   Lower than average pay, especially since you’re expected to haul fluid, haul gravel, haul heavy equipment, do rig moves or run the bed truck. 

Shift work, regular start hours but patchy work.  Not guaranteed to make decent money.  Not the companies fault it just the constant assault against the Alberta oilpatch. Real strong business when I first started but the business went south as I worked there.

Office setting was open to everyone within the company.  Felt able to bring ideas to management.  
Was able to excel at job and then take on new tasks and learn new things, which gave a great sense of accomplishment. 
Pace was hard push at times but acknowledged by the office team 

No support a top down management structure one person show. Unstable bi polar a sweat shop you will do the work of a dozen people and be on call 24/7 poor relationships with in the office and field and distrust runs ramp

Pay is not commensurate with what is asked of you. Expected to be a driver, battery operator, mechanic, dispatch and more. Very low morale and work-life balance.
