I started at this company a month ago, I know I know a month? I'm strickly doing IFT's and would really like to be doing 911. My schedule is Monday thru Friday 12-8. However since I'm the last crew to come on, my shift is always canceled because a rig is always in the shop. This is getting frustrating, because I want to work. Every rig I've worked on has been unreliable. I hate going into work feeling like my rig is going to die.
Rigs 101 and 102: Leak when it rains hard, plus if you turn them off they sometimes wont start, so you have to place a paper clip inside this hole and reset it. Once the emergency start light goes off you can try and start them back up.
Rig 205: has to be jump started before every shift, and you can't turn the air off in the back.
Rig 401: I feel like is going to die once it's been running 6 hours. It sounds like the distributor isnt functioning or it's not getting enough gas, and then gets a burst of gas and speeds up.
Rig 402: Has an electrical short so when you turn the head lights on it constantly dings at you.
I havent been in the other rigs but I've heard that they all have there own problems. Some rigs dont have hooks to catch the gurneys. Our gurneys are a whole other problem.
Last month our paychecks bounced, and others had a few days missing off their checks. I'm really starting to second guess who I went to work for. We don't get paid for the full 24 hours, we only get paid 16.
So my question is, should I stick it out and get more "experience" before I go apply somewhere else. Or should I start looking now. I'm afriad people will see I only worked at this company for a month and not want to hire me. I'm beyond frustrated with this company already. i love the people, but they are in need of some serious equipment upgrades.
