Pros

Pay and benefits are decent

Cons

Tired of spending time with your wife and kids? Sick of doing the things you love to do and taking care of concerns at home? Then come work for TPC Group. Here at TPC, you’ll be working soooo much overtime that you’ll never have to worry about eating dinner with your family, tucking your kids in bed, or even taking the dog for a walk. TPC Group specializes in eliminating that whole “work/life balance” thing. Here, it’s just work. Operators are being overwhelmed by overtime due to vacancies caused by normal attrition, people quitting and by management-created vacancies. Operations and maintenance are frustrated that TPC won’t spend money to replace old equipment or to make proper repairs. TPC would rather spend money on overtime instead of investing in long term solutions to failing equipment. TPC treats its operators the way it treat its equipment….they run them to failure. No wonder so many operators are looking for new jobs. TPC ‘s problems stem from poor management, poor communication and a lack of organization. They prioritize production over everything. TPC preaches safety over all, but they pick low- hanging fruit to focus on instead of the root of the problems. Anything they can do to place blame on the workforce for their mistakes, they will.

Pros

TPC is great to their employees. Despite being a petrochemical company, they are flexible on hybrid wfh arrangements and value growing their employees skills.

Cons

They hire a lot of contractors. Not so bad a thing, but it can make it hard to become an employee

Pros

A technically demanding, stable employer with good pay and strong frontline people — with engaged workers on the frontline.

Cons

A technically demanding, stable employer with good pay and strong frontline people — but challenged by aging assets, heavy workloads, and uneven leadership effectiveness resulting from infighting at and above the director level.
