Pros

The training is longer and better than any other major utility locating company, pay is better too. If you like working alone, this job is perfect! Little to no supervision once you're in the field.

Cons

Little supervision equals little support. There is no mentorship type training, so if you don't get it in class, you're probably not going to get it until you screw up.

Pros

Work by yourself most days

Cons

Nepotism runs wild. Classic example of a job where the better you are the more work you have. Managers are as lazy as can be. Want to move up? Not unless you are the boss' friend. Unrealistic work loads.
