Cat Spec

This company came in to the site I work security at. In general, out of all the different contractor companies I've came in contact with over the years, Cat spec is the absolute worst at following simple directions. Every day with them I felt like a broken record. I was hoping their supervisors would let them know the site rules and the basic stuff they need to know to work safely and within guidelines, but apparently they don't. Cat-Spec is However equal opportunity at least, as I've never seen this many "special people" in one company. Jesus Christ.

Here's a great example of the genius that is cat spec. On MORE THAN ONE occasion with different cat spec employees, officers caught them jumping concrete barricades. No real big issue, but it's still against site rules, so the officers addressed the issue when it happened. The officer, on more times than he could remember, approached and told them to please not jump over the barricades. The Cat spec employee, every single time, said "DUUUUUUHHH.... I'm sorry!!" then proceeds to jump back over the barricade to where he was before. No helping these folks. There are many different examples of cat spec's brilliance I could tell. But I'll keep this as brief as I can while still ranting.

In conclusion, if you want a headache, enjoy repeating yourself over and over, want many wrecks to happen, your place of business possibly destroyed and just love chaos, destruction and all things bad and obnoxious in general. Cat spec is the contractor for you! If you like peace, safety and value human life look elsewhere.

I've read 20 of these complaints and it's funny how it's not ever the individuals fault but the companys fault .

i was one of the people that got hurt working for cat spec on a job in gonzales la. They snuck me out of the plant and never reported it to the plant safety i believe the safety mans name was eddie.

cat spec sent me home without paid leave. have yet to hear from them again for work. i have tried calling them to help with the medical expenses since that time and have been met with nothing but stonewalling and run around.

the plant shell was never informed on my behalf. they owed me money and dr visits and never came through

willie and frank really need to be investigated by higher management. they really dont know much about the work they do they cheat employees of their per diem.

they are always turning down work thinking that other companys will pick them up and they dont they dont care about their employees because they live off of salary their employees go weeks at a time without work.willie and frank evenmun ipilate steve into getting them raises tech a's are being denied to work in the shop when there isnt any work due to them turning it down. they need to be replaced by a manager who actually knows catalyst

Cat-Spec would be a good and better company if they had good safety people,treated everybody equally and didn't lie and hide all the fatalities and accidents that happen during work hours inside the plants,and of course it's never going to be cat-spec's fault.

I was a former employee of Catalyst Services when I found out this company was hiring. I showed up and spoke with a new HR manager. I was offered a supervisory position after interviewing and a review by the partners downstairs. Several techs were hired around the same time.

A few months and several jobs later the Operations Manager apparently returned for wherever he had been at the time we were all hired. From that moment on, all of the new hires started to dispear. First to go was the guy with over 30 years of refinery and catalyst experience: the HD manager. Slowly but surely all of the rest were terminated, and these were men who worked harder than senior techs: didn't fall asleep in the bottom of a tube reactor, didn't order cranes to winch up with equipment caught on the manway, didn't drop super sacks of spent catalyst all over the jobsite.

I went on a project in New Mexico with the last remaining Greenhorn, and some of the other more seasones techs. From the word go this job was FUBAR. We were density loading, and someone's relative had been hired on that was a colossal screw up. The kid knew everything, wouldn't listen, didn't follow safety protocol, and down near killed my green horn by launching the hopper 10 feet or so off the deck. I eventually kicked him off my deck, told him he was not to come back up, and that I would be having a conversation with both the super and Earnest (safety manager) about correcting his drag. No sooner did we get back than I got to meet the Ops Manager.

According to this man I was not 1. Qualified to be a supervisor: I was a supervisor for Catalyst Services, and had every qualification save for helmet maintenance. 2. Was not well liked by some of the techs because I was too hard (expected them not to sleep or kill anyone on my jobsite), and 3. He had not selected me as a Supervisor. Both myself and my greenhorn were terminated that day.

We've covered the ineptitude, now let's talk about race. Aside from the new hires, not one person working there wasn't 1. Hispanic and 2. Related to someone else. Now, people are going to start calling me a honky, racist: difficult to do when you're referring to someone who is mixed-race (Anglo and Arab). The HR manager was white, and he was fired. The majority of the green horns were black, save for a few family hires, and they were all fired. I look Anglo, and I was fired. You know who wasn't fired? Not one of the Hispanic guys that got thrown out of BASF for sleeping in the reactor, not one of the family hires; and, you guessed it, the guy that *** near killed my green horn by kicking a crane cable loose after getting the flange of the hopper caught on the manway. You do the math for yourself.
