Pros

Decent pay, PLENTY OF HOURS FOR YOUR OVERTIME!

Cons

Crap management, NO communication between upper management and field techs, Your AREA manager could care less about YOUR schedule as long as you meet THEIR productivity requirements, I've been trying to get a weekday off for TWO MONTHS STRAIGHT to take care of legal probate matters but have met nothing but DEAF EARS, pay is good if you want to work your butt off, because overtime is REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB!!!! I haven't had a week yet where I knew what my daily hours would look like (from 8-11 hours, with 10 being the average) and I have NEVER had a Saturday off, with them CONSTANTLY pressuring me to work Sundays, even though my RELIGION demands me not to!!!!!!!!!

Pros

Our teams feel like a family, and there is a direct connection with each department whenever questions or support are needed. There are also strong opportunities for advancement for those who demonstrate a solid work ethic and commitment to growth. At the end of the day, this is the best locate company I have ever been a part of. While there is always room for improvement, the fact that our concerns and ideas are genuinely heard and acted upon speaks volumes. It shows that management values its team, and it creates a culture where both technicians and leaders feel respected, supported, and motivated every day.

Cons

Managers often have additional responsibilities that can take time away from their primary focus, which should be managing their teams and maintaining safety and quality at all times. Many of these added tasks can pull attention away from day-to-day operations. Communication could also be improved across all levels to ensure expectations, updates, and support are clearly shared from every direction.
