Pros

Friendly staff for the most part and helpful out in the field when convenient as far as some supervisors. The support from co-workers is good. Good about supporting long term employees.

Cons

Pay is horrible minimum wage and based on points per hour with no realistic way to increase wage by only two dollars. They tell you they'll route you close to home but don't actually do it. They play favorites when it comes to equipment like cellphone. They will not reimburse you for personal cellphone usage either. If you happen to get a company phone they charge you for it. If you have a Apple device prepare to be treated badly because it's not comparable with company software. They lied about having rotating days off meaning supposed to be work six days one off then work five days with two off rotating every other week. They lie about raises after six months still no raise. You have to buy ninety percent of your tools, bags and stuff for truck plus boots and drill bits. With exception of two long drill bits, prep tool, compression tool and signal meter. A lot of safety hazards at the workplace and in the field. Terrible maintenance program relating to budget instead of safety, not to mention unsafe water fountain and poor fire prevention practices as well as work place injuries.

Pros

If you have a wife or girlfriend you hate being at home with, you will enjoy never being home and never having money to spend on her.

Cons

- Never know when you get off work - Poor Management - Denies Workman Comp Claims - Plan on making $7.25 an hour even though they promise more - They break bonuses up over a year because they have such a high turnover no one stays that long. - Poor Benefits just equal more deductions on your check - Pay for your tools - Charge $25 a week for vehicle use - Poor communication - If you have a family, expect never to be home - Work 65+ hours a week at minimum wage - ADP Piece Rate pay = Poor pay - Stats and metrics will never be good enough - Incentive program is pennies on points you acquire. - Does not care about you or your family - Requires you to clock out to fix any mistakes - Make you work during winter storms and bad weather - Forced to crawl under flooded house crawlspaces or get fired - Poor HR - Do as I have and record all phone call attempts and conversations with CallRecord App so you have proof when you turn in company phone - GPS on vehicles and constantly nag about everything - Monitor what you do and say on company cell phones - High Turnover including management - If you get hurt they will say you either didn't turn it in or deny you ever called to explain it

Pros

i had a friendly trainer and most of the people were friendly and tried to be helpful.

Cons

they're all about the statistics and the money. they won't pay you for the work you did and if they didn't go over everything in training, good luck trying to figure it out on your own or having someone show you how to do it.
