Pros

Company truck, independent work environment

Cons

The raise system is terrible, they have a pay cap and if you're hired with experience you get 75 cent a year like 3 times and your pay is capped. They micromanage your every move. Supervisors will lie to you to get you onboard. There is no o/t except when your on call which is 5 days a week. You get watched on camera everyday and the management cant even explain the "driver events". On-call on the weekends also. Worst part is they tell there employees to lie to other locators at other companys to try to get them on here, yet there losing the people they have at an alarming rate because of the practices going on here. The turn over rate is bad and will only get worse unless something is done to change it.

Thank you for this feedback. The goal is always to give individuals the opportunity to grow. We are going to be working on changing and adding some things that should help.

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.
