@ scantee and odas, do u knw much abt Mobil Producing Nigeria/NNPC Apprentice/
Trainee Program. i mean hw d training goes and is it automatic employment after completion of the training?

scantee:
Hello Guys! Lets share our exprience in our respective companies, the challanges we face, the good tidings of each companies and compare it with each. The main reasons i'm doing this here is because i got loads of mail from Nairalanders asking me to give them crew about all these companies concerning the post i made some time ago.

Here we go. I have worked in the following companies they have their good and their bad. (1) MOBIL (PH): here i just worked as a contract staff so no much benefit or packages for me as a contract staff.

(2) AgipBrass Island Bayelsa) I Worked as HSE Adviser here, left them many years back due to they don't pay their staff on time.

(3) NLNG, (Bonny Island R/State) one of the best. If not the best everybody would wish to work for, I worked as SAP Team member here, they have good tidings and good packages for their staff (not contractors staff) one of the good thing i like about them is, they allow their staff to make use of their hilux outside the company site unlike other coys,, you can go with it and flex as much as u can without much limitations, they pay their staff every last friday of the month,

They often host party for their staff/ the host community last saturday of every month.

(4)SPDC (Bonny Island) Currently working here as Network/System Admin . Though they are good, but not like Shell we use to know before, since most directors now are naija made lol, and they are more into contracting jobs unlike before, things have really changed. though they still pay well but not as it used to be , but their working polices is not easy to maintain. The only advantage of working with them is their (Electronic ID) Which permits/gives u access to all the shell terminals nation wide and beyond, and it gives u access to eat in any of the (SPDC Canteen) the ID also enables you to have access to their internet service when you slot it in their customized keyboard. You will as well enjoy what they call (HAPPY HOUR) is party that comes up every last friday of the month.

You can sign in about (5) of your friends using ur ID card, they will be offered free drinks and foods all night in the party. Top naija artists use to perform live during the party.

Omo come see chicks begging you to sign them in, u just dey form like...eh." but you don't dare go out with any Spdc hilux out of the terminals except on official duty, but i guess is because of the IVMS on the vehicles which monitors your speed limits, that might affect the audit during the monthly vehicles inspection audit.

Feel free to shares urs let's have fun of it ( sorry i'm typing through my phone so the text might lack formatting and lots of typooooo.
keep it rolling

While our HSE training was on yesterday,a text message came in to our instructors phone. The said person was also asking for confirmation if such info was valid and this is why I brought it here if anyone heard of such.

scantee:
@mko. Lol but i gave out hints already on how the companies treats their staff that should give you enough crew na, mind you their basic pay differs base on ones qualification, position, and job type. Though years of experience in the field is one of the most important factors that determine ones monthly basic pay in some of the companies.
