Be Careful - Recensione dipendente - Safety Coordinator presso Target Safety Services

A decent company for easing into the oilfield. Very much a diving board. Get in, get some training and experience and get out.

None of the four operating areas communicate appropriately with each other. Trying to get any answers our of anyone is like pulling teeth, assuming you can get anyone on the phone. Their core values are amongst the best I have seen, it's too bad the operational coordinators don't make decisions while having them in mind. Trying to accomplish even the smallest tasks like picking up a truck is an exercise in frustration. They are over-committed and under prepared, always scrambling last minute to organize half-hearted attempts. A lot of promises and little follow-through. Should you have concerns or questions, they are often dismissed with an attitude similar to "be thankful you have a job".

Generally easy to get on with, in-house training. Decent for getting your foot in the door in the industry, but not a career company unless you have the right people pulling for you. Average pay for Safety Watch. Fleet is well maintained, and if you know the right people you can possibly get a vehicle allowance for your personal vehicle.

Very much a 'carrot and stick' outfit. They're always dangling promises of additional training and advancement in front of you, but unless you work in the office or 'know someone', you can't count on anything...including time off to recertify or upgrade on your own. If you aren't a manager's favourite, you have to always be available for work, or risk not getting any. Poor pay for Safety Advisors compared to most other outfits. Promotions are based on who you know. Favourites always win out. Poor work performance is excused if you know the right people. Owners are (literally) millionaires who place more value on the boat not rocking than they do on building a strong company because they know there are always more people to churn through.
