Chesapeake Energy Employee Reviews for Contractor

"Chesapeake is in the headlines every week - OK's most morally bankrupt company"

What do you like about working at Chesapeake Energy?

"I liked the work itself, which was standard office duties"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be willing to sell your soul. Be willing to sacrifice your self worth and any sense of enjoyment you may wish to gain from a job. Convince yourself that the practices of Chesapeake (take a look at any newspaper/news site for their latest scandal) are acceptable."

What don't you like about working at Chesapeake Energy?

"Everything within Chesapeake buildings are grey, white or black. It is the most bleak, most depressing atmosphere I've ever worked in. Thee is absolutely no sense of company culture. I have no clue how Chesapeake has earned such a good reputation as a company to work for - it was by far the WORST employment experience of my life. We were forced to work in an active construction zone, constantly ruining clothing by having to step in wet paint (!!!!), grout (!!) and other materials. I ruined two pairs of shoes in their gravel (unpaved!!) parking lot. Many people got INJURED simply entering the building (this is an office environment, we aren't field contractors) due to the casual nature of the construction crews. I never once spoke to another co-worker. Seriously, you're not allowed to! No socializing what so over. Everyone is miserable always complaining. The money was decent but it is NOT worth your happiness."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Allow workers to socialize, get rid of the construction, add some color to your building. I felt like I worked in a mental institution with only grey and white walls!"
