AGGREKO Employer Reviews

setting appointment, contacting old account and turning into revenue/
scheduling meeting, I learned how to quote prices and make proposal, accumulate contacts, my co-workers were great but not everyone wants to help like they say they do. the most enjoyable part was to help my clients achieve maximum production by providing them with Generators, Chillers, – more... A/C, Oil free air, and much more. and therefore maximum bottom line. – less

A day at aggreko I would Maintain inventory, Set up off site jobs and tear down of jobs.. I learned to drive big and small forklifts, also loading and off loading of our equipment. I would be asked to travel as far as Utah when needed. i would love to learn how to serves and fix any problem with our equipment.

The way the infrastructure is ran at this location is beyond comprehension. No clear direction from management what is expected out of you, ill defined job duties. You hire on to do one thing and they want you to do something that is not related to your job. The manager has never done this type of work before, so there is a complete disconnect of what – more... goes on in the field and shop. Management has no comprehension on how to manage money or balance a budget properly, they expect the techs to do that for them. They shuffle people around everyday so you do different things everyday weather you finish your job or not, you jst end up doing someone else job. The manager will not take responsibility for his own decisions he makes. Poor job planning and bidding from management, which leads to wasting time and money. Manager can not handle some one with experience questioning his incompetence. The foreman has been there 11 years and still has the knowledge of someone with 1 year experience and thinks there is still a learning curve for him. Over all the company itself is good. – less

If the most important aspect of you life is your job, then you will enjoy working here. Unfortunately, management in the invoicing- finance function does not have the ability to make tough decisions which would allow for a more rewarding career. Instead, they allow employees to "tread water". Due to not addressing obvious management issues, clerical – more... employees are made to work harder and are under appreciated. Unless the postion that you are applying for is upper, upper management, be prepared for a very rough ride. – less

Aggreko was not a job it was a way of life. A career is supposed to be something youre passionate about, not necessarily a job where you just watch your life fly by you without being able to stop. No Possibility for advancement unless you have a bachelors. Pretty good benefits, management at every service center was different, overall pretty good. Lots – more... of overtime which doubled my salary. – less

never had a typical day. would show up to work sometimes with no idea what needed to be done. some days I would be in the shop. some days I would be in the field. I had good co-workers but I think the management was lacking. for the most part we worked individually with no supervision. The hardest part of the job was not knowing what to expect some – more... days we would work 8hrs some days 14-20hrs a day but it was never planed. I liked the travel and dealing with customers. – less

Everything in the lemont depot revalving around managment is a joke they hardly ever do their jobs and when they do it just makes our day harder and longer than it has to be

Great company to work for great pay lots of hours and great work incentives.

They wait till last minute to tell you you'll be workin a ton of overtime the management sucks micromanage is an understatement the foreman is a joke and inventory control man is lazy but management makes everyone else do his job

Don't work here unless you like drama and doing others work for them for pitiful pay

Aggreko in general great place just – more... not in lake Charles
All other employees are great guys to work with – less

The people are very genial and helpful. I enjoyed Project management deploying IT solutions to offices and sites in various countries from Asia, Middle East, Africa and Central America. I learned about so many people's cultures and had insights into their way of life. It was a wonderful experience.

nice company but supervisor was not a good leader. was a micromanager. he is no longer with the company though.

There always appeared to be tension between each of the different groups of workers, which meant that, ultimately, if you worked in Stocks, you would only ever socialise with those you actually worked beside.

I learned how to operate a now, fairly dated but still relevant, database, and how to correctly and safely handle sharp tools used for opening – more... various shipments.

The hardest part of the job was sorting out the mountains of paperwork that would accompany a large order, but in its own way, this was also the most enjoyable for me, as it required us to input all of our data on the computer at some point, checking our orders against the received shipments. – less

me gusto mucho el trabajo electrico con muchas expectativas de estudiar (si se pudiera ) con mucho aprendizaje de motores y partes electricas,como función y riesgos .
la parte dificil era trabajar con alto voltaje .( pero con proteccion personal y capacitaciones del trabajo fue una buena tarea a realizar )
