Labourer (Former Employee) - Slave Lake, AB - 3 May 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNo hate for the company, it was the often misses with the dispatchers. We’d get sent out to perform something specific but then 9/10 times it escalates to something else. Example: We’d get sent out @ 8pm for a 2am job but we end up waiting 17 hours for the consultant to be ready meanwhile we’re missing other opportunities.

Great people, great work, and great pay.
Driver, Operator (Former Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 23 February 2022
Loved working for Sanjel. Everyone I worked with was kind, friendly and appreciated my work ethic. The management staff is full of great people who want to see their employees strive. Everyone I worked with had great attitudes towards the work and their co-workers. If you work hard, the job is easy. Long hours, but it pays really well. Mix of local and remote work. I would work there again!
Pros
Good pay, great co-workers, really good safety measures, meal allowance and paid hotels, lots of room to move up in the company.
Cons
Long hours, potentially away from home for duration of shifts.

A good company to work for
Bulk Plant Operator level 2 (Current Employee) - Lac La Biche, AB - 12 February 2022
I’m happy working for Sanjel. My only problem is I live in another province so I’m away from my family a lot. But I’m still here so that says something.
Pros
They take good care of you safety and financially.
Cons
Long hours

Awful environment. Prehistoric culture. Racist and sexist beyond belief.
LOGISTICS MANAGER - WESTERN DISTRICT (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 18 January 2022
No lunch breaks unless it was not busy. No windows in the office provided. Sink or swim mentality instead of a team effort and no help from managers as they were rarely in the office.
Pros
The pay
Cons
Everything except the pay

Very little consideration for the well being and happiness of employees
B-TRAIN DRIVER/OPERATOR (Former Employee) - Lac La Biche, AB - 10 January 2022
I don’t have much good to say. Sanjel USED to be a great company. It seems the people are now secondary to the bottom line. I’m don’t know if it’s a company wide problem, or just the base I worked! If you’re looking for a career, do yourself a favour, KEEP LOOKING

Not who they once were
Supervisor 2 (Former Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 31 October 2020
Once "Schlumber-jel" took over it went downhill quickly. Once resurrected they dominated the Cementing Service Line again. Unfortunately however, the "Schlumber-jel" micro managing also remains. Wouldn't recommend working here anymore.
Pros
During my time, the pay was fair
Cons
Lots of travel, Calgary Management

Will always be over Hours Of Service and told to lie about your logs
Supervisor (Former Employee) - Edmonton, Lac la Biche ,AB - 9 October 2020
You will get to work with good guys in the field but will be treated like a number. Hour’s of service is a joke. No respect for the laws with this company. When and if you say something your time is up and jobless. No matter how much you have given. Big turnaround with these guys, no respect from the office. A reason why they have went bankrupt.
Pros
Money, field worker’s
Cons
Every thing is bad

Lied and never delivered
Operator In Training (Former Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 2 October 2020
During my interview I asked how often I would be away from home and they told me I may be out of town for a night or 2 at a time.. during my 2 week on shift I was almost never home. They also said they would train me for a class 1 licence and in the 4 months I was there they never sat me behind the wheel.
Pros
Good benefits, people are ok to work with.
Cons
Never home, busy 24/7 schedule with little rest.

Interesting lifestyle
Bulk Plant Operator (Current Employee) - Estevan, SK - 16 February 2020
Oil field/oil field service work isn't for everyone but once you adjust to the 15/6 or 10/4 work schedule there's nothing like it. Going back to a regular 5/2 schedule would be difficult.
