The job your mom warned you about.
Pros
Paycheck. I would say company truck but you can only use it for work purposes now. Some people work to be a part of their company AND earn a paycheck. Not here. You will be here simply for money.
Cons
The unreasonable demands of the job. The job is based off of three aspects: safety, quality, production. The quality and production are nearly impossible to do. Tickets are due within 48hrs which you will have at least 40 and up to 100 tickets to complete in that 48hr time frame. Some of these tickets are very simple, most are not. Most are lengthy and require multiple visits. As you get more and more tickets you will get behind and then the snowball starts. (This is not your fault it happens to everyone here.) After the snowball starts quality the second aspect goes out the window. Everyone takes shortcuts to get tickets off your screen only to get more. You will start at 13.00/hr. Which is much to low. One sentence would some up the whole problem for our company.... WE DO NOT HAVE THE MANPOWER TO PULL OFF THE WORK LOAD WE HAVE. The turnover is extremely high so you will never see the same face twice. Contractors are losing money because of USICs inability to get locates done on time. Utility companies pay our company to protect there structures but we simply don't hold up our end of the deal. My days are limited here as are many others. Its a shame. Please reconsider if you have applied. Seniority at this company is anyone with 3 months in the field. We alone have lost 35 people just this year. Sad. We all say "Safety and quality as long as it doesn't get in the way of production".
