I've been in the Industry for almost 16 years now. I've worked for all the locate companies and located every utility u Der the sun. With experience, management will expect you to go all over and do what the lazy locators will not, you will not be compensated. After bailing out all the other managers, getting their areas back beyond manageable... "Good Job", "Thank You"! Oh no, you won't hear a thing, but you will see even more in your ticket load, A camera in your face that screams you're following a vehicle too close when stopped at a stop light, a work phone that constantly rings with an automated 811 emergency call, you'll get a call for each utility on a ticket, if you have 5 or 6 utilities on 1 emergency, you will get a separate call for each utility. No bonus despite what the job posting advertised. The better you do, the more stress is implemented. If you desperately need a job then by all means, if you're experienced, Try it out. I, myself had to depart this company for the fact that they were trying to work me into an early grave, I would be so stressed out everyday that I would unwillingly bring stress and attitude towards my family, not gonna happen anymore... best of luck.. good riddance.
