Pros

Pay pretty well, that’s about it

Cons

Hardly home only home 6 days out the month, They will lay you off for no reason, doesn’t communicate well. Seems like theirs really no sense of guidance. Have to deal with a lot of different personalities because you’re always working with someone different. Can’t trust no one, they’ll make you drive sometimes 14-15hrs in a raggedy truck and you can’t go past 60 miles per hour or else you’ll get a alert and a phone call and for all that driving you’ll only get maybe 40-50 dollars for miles driven and sometimes you might not get paid for the miles you drove although they tell you , you will get paid for it so you have to constantly check your pay to make sure they put it on there. You have some crew leaders that don’t know how to talk to ppl or lead. Workers have history of getting in physical altercations because of it. Work with a lot of idiots some cool people too

Pros

Work is simple and not too hard if you're fit. Employees on the ground are likeable and good to work with.

Cons

Unsanitary work and equipment, including the vehicles. Vehicles and shop are barely kept secure, and there often isn't enough equipment to go around. Upper management makes surprise, week long visits and interrupts the flow of work and the good vibes of the crew. Will needlessly fly you out to the home office for training that coulda been done in a day over Zoom. Communication between departments is awful. Nobody knows when stuff is happening or why. Trying to contact anyone above you is a gamble if they'll even answer the phone or return your messages. Will fire you right after you get off work without any specified reason.
