ENTREC Corporation

I would start my day by going in a little early to enjoy our lunch ladies breakfast. My days would go by quite quickly as I was busy all the time. I started as reception and quickly moved to 2 different positions, the room for advancement was always there. I cared about the people I worked with and still have contact. I found the hardest part of the Job was leaving. I felt like I learnt something new everyday and loved that part of the Job.

Focused too much on trying to M&A companies that would just grow the bottom line. lost sight of key competencies. Arrogant Management who thought they knew too much about an industry that they didn't. They bought in thinking they could treat it like just another trucking/transport company. Smart move to bring in cranes, but didn't get enough buy in from the teams. Claim Health and Safety is critical but changed the program and management and team memebers too frequently to be consistent

Management does not care about employees. They have very little management skills. Safety rating is poor and have had 60 incidence in 3 months. Safety program has no training and is only about their BBO’s and is a joke. Very high turnover of employees. They would rather just lay someone off other than offer to reposition them within the company. Not a good place to work right now. Finance is doing cut backs in all the wrong places. The candy and popcorn is good and you can bring your dog to work.

I have been with ENTREC for several years in a couple of different roles, and have really enjoyed my time here.
Management does a good job of recognizing the right attitudes, and makes sure they are celebrated and have room for advancement.
The economy has been tough on the Canadian oilfield, which has resulted in some tough decisions, but ENTREC has made smart choices and remain very competitive in the market.
People with positive attitudes and a safety-first approach will do well here.

Being a newer company expanding into a new field, Oilfield Services, this branch of the company faced major issues establishing themselves in the area. With that, I feel, they were unable to match their drive with the expectations of the local industry.

Benefits of working with a new to area company did not outweigh the environmental shortcomings they were faced with.

Management/dispatch was one the best I have ever worked for, They looked after your weekly hour schedule and tried their best to balance the load and distribute to others.
Most of co-workers were knowledgeable and respectful, but you always going to find the odd ones that are not likeable.
Took pride of my unit and work despite the mission and the difficulty.
They were easy with time off and general requests.
Supervisors were great and knowledgeable.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Team work with co-workers very good maintenance on equipment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Always stress to do more and being pushed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor management pushes to do more. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always push to do 2,3,4 jobs a day.

Was there for over a year. They changed their management structure again in 2017  with a  new female Operations VP with no business understanding of their core businesses.a real ditz.
Screwed up Grande Prairie. 

management in the regions carry the company and keep this company from collapsing.
They treat employees with respect. 
Unlike the head Office management.

The atmosphere here is great. It definitely feels like family when you walk in the door every morning. There have been some rough times over the past few years due to lay offs, but senior management has been great with knowing what to do in a recession/keeping the company alive. They are a very smart team leading wonderful people. All of our staff is fantastic and I love working here!

Entrec doesn't promote a team culture or atmosphere. The divisions compete for work rather than work together to compete against other companies. Management leaves the drivers and mechanics feeling like they are lower cast people.
