Horrible Management - Pipeline Controller Colonial Pipeline Employee Review

Pros

Co-workers were great, not much else. If must, use as stepping stone for better jobs.

Cons

After initial pre-set salary increases, prepare for 1-3% pay raises for rest of employment. Annual reviews will nickel and dime you out of a good rating and bonus while red carpet rolled out for college grads who are connected. Diversity and Inclusion pushed down throats while management only care about their careers/next promotion and padding their resumes while they do little to nothing except attend meetings. The same 5-10 middle managers switch positions every 2 years with zero added value except promoting who they like. Identity crisis with aging pipeline, primary focus on shareholders and bloated corporate office.

Pros

The company offers decent pay, good 401k matching, and a nice bonus structure, The corporate office is nice, and the vast majority of rank-and-file employees there are friendly folks who are passionate about the work they do. Day-to-day work is a steady pace while allowing breathing room to dash out of the office for a quick lunch or errand.

Cons

The acquisition by private equity has turned the company on its head. Management seems to constantly be threatening more cuts at all times- a mentality shared by the top that seems to trickle down to frontline managers. There is a squeeze for work, and people will pass the blame on any blunders, no matter how small, to save themselves. Additionally, any talk of strong job trajectory or upward growth has shown little proof; the only way to get properly moved around is to know the right folks higher up in the hierarchy. The best recommendation is to wait until the company is sold during the next acquisition and reevaluate from there.
