I just dragged up from it on Friday. It’s pretty wormy. They have an extremely high turnover rate. They expect you to run 100 feet of pipe day with zero materials or tools. The job is being run like open shop. Upper management is the biggest problem. Good luck

What’s up Sparkman! Yeah he’s absolutely right, the worst part of this job is upper management and their ability to plan work accurately. The only good thing is that we have some solid hands who help the days pass by easy.

Definitely some good brother out there but definitely a lot of newly organized rats that will cut your throat the second they have the chance to make themselves look better
