Pros
Steady job with plenty of work
Decent corporate and health benefits
Provided work truck, fuel, and compensated for portions of travel time
Physical job with an amount of job satisfaction for completing bigger projects.
Self driven
Cons
Almost too much work at times, OT is frequently expected or required, even while management states they are trying to minimize OT.
Travel and time away from home
Parts and technology frustrations
Pay is meager for the work, knowledge, risk, and respect of equipment required. Minimal certifications mean no leverage for more pay, either in company or elsewhere.
Work vehicles come with AI monitoring - more stress than it may be worth.
Not a whole lot of support, you work on your own a lot, not recommended for newer or unsure persons.
Turnover leads to inexperience and long hours, as well as required travel to support undermanned areas.
