Pros

Job sounds fantastic, good training ish.

Cons

Pays sucks for what you do - training is good but as soon as it’s over they basically throw you out to the wolves and expect you to remember all of the two weeks of training and if you don’t remember you get you butt handed to you and treated like and idiot. My boss was not the brightest one- one minute be nice to you next minute ripping you a new one for no reason. Boss follows you to job site and after locate boss says “you did a great job you have this thing down” then after you miss a week (death in family) he calls you and threatens to fire you and says you need more training cause everything you do is terrible. Can’t locate need new training.

Pros

Take-Home work vehicle, cell phone, work laptop, gas card, flexible hours, decent pay.

Cons

It's hard to retain quality locators just due to the location and excessive heat during the summers(Phoenix ,AZ) and scope of some of the locates called in. It can definitely take a toll on your mental well-being, but help is always there if you need it especially when some contractors call in a locate ticket for 10,000 plus feet to be located or entire neighborhoods is they are installing new fiber... Those requests are usually not that common depending on which area you're working but places that are expanding and all that it's more prevalent.
