Big Eagle Services

I honestly Love HR, I love dealing with people, the employees, and see what can be improved on for the well being of the workers and the company. 
Hard days were working a lot of long ours and weekends during our busy season Sept- March.  when we restructured, was left with a lot to do on some of administrative side.  

the Hardest part of my job is the unknown in the economy. But I have an amazing group of coworkers that stay as positive as they can, to make a stressful time fun. 

I have learned SO much within my 7 years at this company......   Dispatching the guys out, to entry level safety, administrative duties and experiences. My love for HR.  this was the year I was going to start my part time learning to get my HR Certification/ Diploma and my big goal is to get my CHRP and or similar level of achievement and work for the Government of Alberta or Saskatchewan.

From day one to my last day I had problems in this company. Terrible management, every single time I'd get a paycheck, there would be a problem. A huge company that tries to screw with you and your payments. DO NOT waste time applying for those guys. At the end of your term of work they want you to pay back 2400$. They laid me off from one of the locations, but later on decided to turn my "lay off" into 'fired' to avoid paying me the vacation pay and more than 1000$ of salary that they owed me. They will screw with your overtime hours and find any reason to pay regular rate for your overtime hours. All hydro trucks are pieces of junk and never work properly, constantly need repair.  A multi-million company would rent out a room for you with a roommate (!). 
Nothing personal, this is not a revenge, just telling it as it is. 

(Don't waste your time for those guys, after one week of training I did not receive any of my certificates)

I joined Big Eagle and they taught me my skills as a Hydro-vac Operator. Before the new managers arrived the vendors weren't getting paid, we were asked to work unsafely and the equipment was getting run down. But with the new management everything changed for the better. We got 6 new HV units, we were told to work safe and follow HOS regs, and they really are trying to focus on team and balance of work life. If my wife would let me stay I would, but she wants me on a 8 and 5.
Plus, just so everyone knows, there was never any Yuri working n Hydro-vac Edmonton. so that one review is BOGUS!

In the shop we worked 7-4 with some overtime. We also had a shop in 3 hrs away that we went to periodically with the service truck for a day or two each month and maintained 6 to 8 trucks down there. we did a lot of suspension and brake work, ABS, transmissions, clutches and some engine work. we did not do engine in-frames but we did almost everything else. we worked on Hydraulics and high pressure water pumps.
I worked directly under a shop foreman who organized the work to be done and prioritized. it was his job to get us the parts we needed to do the work.
My co-workers were respectful and easy to get along with.

I was a Senior Sales Account Manager and worked for Big Eagle for almost two years. While I was employed at Big Eagle the Management Team was continually working to improve the bench strength and direction of the company. This can be seen by their excellent safety record and improvements in Service Quality, condition of the equipment and customer satisfaction.

Working for Big Eagle services in Zama City was a good experience for me I enjoyed the people I worked with made alot of lasting friend ships unfortunately  I felt that the equipment wasn't properly maintained for the nature of the work due to the inexperience and neglect of the manger in Zama. there was 5 other people that quit around the same time I did

Big Eagle has made some serious changes in the last few years including management, sales and staff in all areas. At first resistant to all of this as of the old culture I now realize this has been a beneficial adjustment to the company and the culture associated with it. It has been a long time coming and I find it easy to talk and express my thoughts and opinions to staff and management and actually be listened to. The changes although progressive have made this a company of safety and service. Well done.

BE was a great company to work for. There were/are some great people working for this company and this is the main reason that a lot of us stayed as long as we did. My position required extensive travel and long periods away from the home base. This was offset by the opprotunity to take unscheduled time off for O/T worked to be with family and friends. Benefits were good and the salary more than adequated.

I liked working for big Eagle oilfield services because I learned alot about different types of equipment and also was able to work my way into a higher position very quickly.the dispatchers could have been better with finding work for the hotoiler trucks .The safety courses were outstanding and paid for .The insurance was very good for coverage

This is one of the worse companies I have ever worked for because the HR team is so close that no matter what your issues is everyone will know whats going on. 
They didn't give me my tickets or my last pay without fighting for it. 
They have HUGE financial issues and they make you believe everythng is okay!
