Enjoyed my time there it was too bad it was cut short.

HSE- Driver Trainer Supervisor (Former Employee) – Clairmont, AB – 22 July 2018

Trained and evaluated drivers as per provincial standards along with company practices included. I was part of a team that worked well together and had the companies practices in mind at all times but safety was always first when it came to having safe competent drivers.

An exellent company to work for ,very rewarding,great environment, great people

Driver ,operator (Former Employee) – Red Deer, AB – 11 May 2018

A call out could be a typical 8 hour shift or could be a 30 hour physical and mental grind . Learned the operation and goals of a oil rig .The management of Sanjel were very focused on safety and efficiency so you always knew the company put your safety first and that all work was well organized,this meant the crews were confident and worked closely together.The hardest part of the job was definetly the long grueling hours but it could also be the most enjoyable part of the job working with a bunch of great people and heading back to the shop for a bbq and talking about what we accomplished that shift.

Pros

Good benefits, good company, good people

Cons

No travel allowance

Same old attitude

Supervisor (Former Employee) – Esrevan – 26 September 2017

New ownership, but I can't believe they left the same idiots running the company that drove the old Sanjel into bankruptcy. You will only get ahead if you give.....! The leadership cannot take criticism, it's do as I say or else. They fire people for the sake of firing. So many good quality employees were either fired for no reason, or quit because they were so unappreciated.

Pros

None

Cons

Extremely poor, weak management at all levels.

Fun place to work at

Horsepower Truck Operator (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 21 September 2017

I had a great time working there and I won't hesitate to go back and work there again. the only reason I am not working there is that the type of work we were doing is not available anymore.

Love the Alberta born company

Electronic Technician (Former Employee) – Grande Prairie, AB – 24 May 2017

I thank Sanjel for the opportunity they gave me to get my foot into the door of the oil and gas industry. Unfortunately the market of 20015/16 had them have to sell of the Frac side, which I was a part of, but I'm sure the cement guys are still just as great as ever.

Pros

Think big and play safe.

Cons

Some managers were not management material and got away with unsavary behaviour.

Bulk Plant Operator (Former Employee) – Lloydminster, AB – 21 April 2017

Fun

Cons

Hard work

Company did not survive the oilfield downturn

Bulker/operator (Former Employee) – Red Deer, AB – 18 January 2017

N/A. The company was great until it laid off all the employees as it filed for Chapter 11. Cementing was difficult due to irratic work schedule and not knowing when the phone would ring.

Normal Oilfied Company with the Normal Problems

Truck Driver, Oil Field Worker (Former Employee) – Red Deer, AB – 20 November 2016

Well meaning management and visionary team directors did their best with the teams they had. Could have been run better on the office side when it came to paperwork. Submitting receipts and food allowances was not easy for all employees and little help was given. Logbooks were a pain, long hours annoying, cab company distasteful at times. Outdoor work cold and dangerous. Enjoyed the team environment, learned a lot about the oil field industry and the people that make it tick. Was struck by the constant battle with drugs, alcohol abuse and pornography regardless of company regulations. Very little morale in teams I was on. Only stayed 3 months due to the hours away from my family. Found the short stays with my family between weeks on were not enjoyable as everyone was used to living without me. Saw the effect of long term work on other coworkers families and decided to quit.

Pros

Moderate Pay, Work parties fun!, lots of freedom

Cons

Long hours, Loss of family life, Cold and Dangerous Work, little office help, poor morale

Once upon a time it was a fun place to work

IS purchaser and help desk analyst (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 19 September 2016

The company was good to work for when I started in 2010 and it was great until the end of 2014. The company was growing by leaps and bounds and then things changed in 2015. By 2016 the whole company was pulled apart and sold for parts.

Cons

Extra duties and no recognition for job well done
