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.

Pros

It’s a job and it pays.

Cons

Management are all unsuited and super under qualified, hire ups (ceo, regional supervisors, etc) are all ignorant and only care about how they can save money to upgrade their “at home” movie theaters, they took away bonuses, OT, and other smaller benefits all of a sudden with out notice, equipment such as paint and other things are 100% garbage. They installed cameras just as a way to further micromanage drivers. ( it constantly barks orders at you even if you’re 200 feet behind a vehicle) must I go on? If you want to make 600$ a week and constantly get emails about production… be my guest.
