Pros

Free products Convenient office location RRSP matching Made a few lifelong friends

Cons

People are afraid to give feedback. Micromanaging - little to no autonomy is given to employees in performing their job. Overworking is a badge of honour and is not only expected, but celebrated. Burnout is a real issue. Lack of opportunity for professional development and growth. Quarterly and yearly checkins with arbitrary goals/targets that often don’t fit into the bigger picture. And if you meet, or exceed your targets, they are just increased so that you have no longer met them. Little or strained interaction between employees and other employees or management. Social cliques, gossiping, toxic environment. Favouritism and office politics. Aggressive, condescending, bullying behaviour. Mental health is glossed over and not properly addressed. Staff are hesitant to take sick days in fear of falling behind. Overly concerned with “culture fit” in the hiring process, yet employees are not trusted.

Pros

Little to no oversight and/or intervention on the Control Center floor allowing you to perform your job undisturbed.

Cons

Poor leadership with heavy favoritism to certain employees who are also friends outside of work. People are promoted into leadership positions who don't belong in those positions. Tallgrass talks a lot about safety, but I was told very early on to never give any negative feedback on the annual safety and employment satisfaction survey because they're not anonymous and it will be held against you. I gave my Supervisor some very unsafe practices that I commonly witnessed and it went in one ear and out the other. They had a goal to create a very laid back and loose Control Center atmosphere and they've succeeded which will ultimately be their demise in my opinion. The Control Center staff is largely made up of younger people who play video games and engage in other very inappropriate activities all shift. Headphones maxed out so phones roll over is very common. I finally had enough and left. Irresponsibility was the norm and I simply didn't fit in.
