Reasons to work for Pembina

Lots of posts on this site about how awful and terrible our company are out of line. Here are some reasons why I am happy to work for this company:

Pay and incentives. In my experience Pembina pays very well. I know I am compensated better than the majority of my peers and are happier. Even if it means more work hours.
Promotions and career movement. I have never worked at a large company where I felt valued as much. I have had two promotions and pay increases in under a decade. Fact: Pembina rewards hard work and dedication.
Offices. The Calgary office is in an amazing location close to all amenities and has a great gym and wellness area. Field offices I visited were all welcoming and I felt had good morale.
Unwinding and celebrating. We all want and need to let loose. Bring it back! I appreciated pre-covid and when we were smaller and the company (Calgary office) let us take time out and held the Toast celebrations at the end of the day when we would reach a milestone or close deals. The Stampede and Christmas parties were definitely an amazing time! Good food, drinks, laughs with our work family. Lots of debauchery and great memories. I enjoyed the Wednesday afternoon social club lunch the most. Every month a business unit would host a lunch for members that was catered by a local restaurant with a few drinks (some people at the drink station who were indulging at 11am wouldn't take no for an answer while handing you a cold craft beer walking in! or refuse serving a 2nd or 3rd for the road in the elevator trip. Loved it (bless those young crescent pointers.) It was a great opportunity to mingle with other employees and make personal and business connections while everyone was a bit looser. These lunches would cause a much needed slowdown for the rest of the afternoon on my area of the floor that was sometimes needed. People would come back to their offices with a buzz on and re-schedule certain meetings and ignore e-mails. Surf the internet with headphones in while pretending to work. I spent close to two hours at the Core shopping mall one afternoon after a mid-week social club lunch buying an air hockey and pool table from Recreation World for my new place, and left work at 3:30pm. Came in late the next morning.

Pembina is a great place to work. Hopefully others their positive experiences as well.

How this migrated to dr-g abuse reminds me of a 12 year old Pembina Dr-g and Alcohol policy where I quote word for word "Pembina strongly encourages the moderate consumption of alcohol". Of course the intent was "if you are going to drink, please do so in moderation" but that is not what the Prez Bob M signed off on. I still have the original and read it when I want a laugh. A great party favorite!
A friend once said "there are 3 stages in a company's life -
#1) built by Technical people;
#2) run into the ground by Accountants, then
#3) Shut down by Lawyers.
Here with Uncle Mick's desire for 'the deal' at any cost getting bent over forward by the sellers, we are approaching Stage 3 of this companies life. I read a Morningstar commentary on recent acquisitions where their opinion was that Mickey paid too much for them and bought just to show growth and of course overpaid - and now profits aren't there resulting in cutting staff among other things to compensate. Such a shame his ego hasn't been checked before this. Now the BOD wants 25% of field staff to be women. That's fine - let them all be women or whatever - but how about saying 'our priority is competence, not gender'. Sounds like Trudeau's cabinet???? Fun to watch!

Please, I used to work in Comms and it’s pretty clear that you now do as well, and we’re instructed to post this to try and counteract the negative comments. You’re certainly more transparent than the company is.

Pembina finally let us have Rememberence Day off! That only happened a few years ago and the company acted like they were doing us a huge favor. F.U. Whoever pressured them in to doing the right thing, thanks.

The company events held on campus where alcohol was served, and in certain cases, abused always puzzled me.. you would see individuals in safety sensitive positions going back to work inebriated. I'd love to see an IT report on personal internet activity after those events hah. The indulging was tolerated and in some cases pressured. Part of the companies prehistoric charm.

Mick didn't post this thread. It was probably created by the same minion floozie from HR or communications who posts the fake Glassdoor and Indeed reviews to counter the negative ones the company gets.

This poster forgot to sign off Sincerely, Mick
Lol

Agree with almost everything you posted. I would add volunteer and charitable endeavours to the list. The comment about time wasting is corporate fraud, period and reading that pi---d me off. I hope someone can identify you and the others who do that and are immediately turfed for-cause. God that ticks me off.

I take these posts at 80/20 value. 80% are garbage and 20% may have genuine underlining issues. There are problems, but not necessarily universal, you can't run a company like that for so long.

@dpn+1cxPPBKI projecting their deep seeded substance abuse and personal issues. Good luck to you. Coke is a hellava dr-g.

A--iction to 0piates has been recognized as a medical issue.
Seek some help and good luck.
