I said there are 3 companies that I would not work for. I did not name the companies and did not say anything bad about them. They may be a perfect match for others.
Like a car salesman friend told me once, "There's a butt for every seat."
We have been with GGS for over 2 yrs fulltime and are very satisfied here and well taken care of.
Everyone needs to be where they are most comfortable and happy with their job. Some folks can not be happy no matter where they are at.
Cheers Everyone!!


IMO, people who are considering this type of work should be made aware of the experiences of those who have/had worked for these companies. If that conflicts with your experience, then it is what it is. I did not mention any details as to what the instances/experience we had with GGS, so I don't see how that is "badmouthing" the company.

"Some folks can not be happy no matter where they are at," has nothing to do with our experience.

Ok, as dangerous as it is that i may get my head bitten off I gotta ask.

"If they have been breaking the law since 2009 or so - and it has reached several million dollars." Would it make sense to say that "maybe they are not breaking the law?"

Oh, i agree w/ you...after all i have read. They are the best GGC!

thanks [emoticon]


Reading is one thing but actual work experience with the company is another. GGS having lost 2,that I know of, very experienced gate guards says something is wrong.


My wife and I have actual work experience with GGS, out side of a "couple of service people" that are no longer with GGS we have had a pleasant experience. I have enjoyed working with GGS and will again next year. The GGS people,are great to work for and the new service people we have had has been good.

Don/Shar, it looks like GGS has been eliminating a few problem employees lately and everything is running good. They have some new gates and are putting people to work quickly.

We plan to go to work the end of this month or early Nov for GGS. Have been treated very well and some changes for the better have happened in the Western district to make all happier.

Not saying other are not good or as good but we have worked for over two years with them and plan to stay. We do hope they up the daily rate but for the time being we will stay and just try and ask for more!!!

Well we are sitting pretty good. Nice lot, no snakes to be seen, of course we have seen no wild life either. We can keep the gate open all the time as we are fenced off all the way around, no one here but the two of us. Paved road, paved entrance to the lot WOW.

30 days really makes a big change....the frac crew moved in next door "RIGHT NEXT DOOR" the traffic is non-stop, but it will be over in another 24 hours....thank heaven. Don't want to be right on the pad next time we have a frac crew.

Before anyone gets all hyper about these photo's I did get permission to post these non imposeing pictures. I just thought they were interesting.

How well did they feed you??? That is the best perk of fracing.....[emoticon]

They are laying down our rig in about 2 weeks, for the remainder of hunting season. We have a whole bunch of holes waiting fracing, but don't know how they are going to handle it during hunting season. May be a very quiet 3 months.....LOL.

This was Halliburton Fracing.....the biggest one in business. They don't even feed their own men. We had a couple meals but from the crew putting the tanks and pipes. Believe me I don't want to be on the pad with the frac happening and the sand castles about 30 foot from us. Very loud and dusty. The noise wasn't too bad inside (we are really good insulated) but ouitside wow. Didn't have a problem sleeping.....1 at a time. Tomorrow night I will have my wife back in my bed.
