Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Their inefficiency due to treaters rigging up equipment only to get their bonus(as long as they open the well & put 1 pump in gear they'll get it) CREATES a lot of work for all employees😁 Specially during 1st stages

Cons

Sometimes on 1st stage half the pumps didn't work, & had to replace blender more than twice on first day of the job
