Stressful work environment - Anonymous employee TestOil Employee Review

This company is awful to work for. They hold group interviews every three months because worker turn over is outrageous. After the interview they call you in for orientation and once you get there and are shown around then make you work with no warning. Training is sink or swim. If you can't catch on they do not care and the training if half assed most of the time. No one learns correctly so senior technicians struggle making up for the work load. After training they just put you on the tests with no intent on helping you. The hours are miserable. Be prepared to spend 50-55 hours a week in the lab with no set out times. The equipment is on average 20 years old and if new equipment is purchase it is always used. Equipment rarely works. The average down time for equipment for the week is probably 30 hours.
