Pros

Outside, job isnt dull and ever changing work load in various areas. Loved the Bismarck managers, surrounding lead techs and other employees that helped maintain ticket volumes.

Cons

revolving door of employees, always short staffed somewhere. The state director would rather stay at home than be out in the field helping manage areas in need. Did not receive our raises in a timely matter, when we did it was computer base system. Which the State Director did not take account of the hard work/ short staffed events. Wish the company would make the state director retire so somebody who takes action and responsibilities seriously can take over.

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.
