Favoratism,Unprofessional, Low Pay (Compared to other) - Mudlogger Empirica Employee Review

- There are people on the team that really look out for everyone. The foreigners treat us better than the locals at this company.

- Roux needs to pick a new right hand man

TOO MUCH STRESS. ONLY A PLACE TO GET A QUICK PAYCHECK!

The parent company (ALS) bought Empirica at the height of the market and now they are dealing with a down turn in the industry. Problem is ALS is COMPLETELY NEW to the upstream oil and gas industry. They think the hub of the drilling industry resides in Australia and they are trying to run the business like they do in open pit mines in Australia (different business model). Frankly, I'd stay away from ALS Empirica (and ALS). Everything here is short term, don't be fooled, this is not a place for a career; hired today laid off tomorrow, hire and fire, hire and fire. This is just a place to collect a quick paycheck, nothing more! There is ZERO investment in equipment or personnel. Never think this is a career, even in the best of times, everything is short term. There is little training given to field personnel and at times they'll put you in dangerous situations in the field. And if there is a down turn in the economy, their first thought is ALWAYS to CUT CUT CUT critical staff and put the remaining duties onto the remaining critical staff. Currently I'm doing the work of 3 other staff that have been cut. And if I don't do 100% of the work of the previously cut staff, I'll be next. With the work load going to other staff. I'll soon be laid off as well.
