Pros

You get a company vehicle that you can take home every night. This allows you to not put miles on your personal vehicle.

Cons

Mandatory overtime typically 12 to 14 hours a day. And if you can't get all of your work done during the week you will be working Saturdays and Sundays. They start you out with no experience at $15 an hour and if you have some experience you might get 17. No benefits for a year.

Pros

Take-Home work vehicle, cell phone, work laptop, gas card, flexible hours, decent pay.

Cons

It's hard to retain quality locators just due to the location and excessive heat during the summers(Phoenix ,AZ) and scope of some of the locates called in. It can definitely take a toll on your mental well-being, but help is always there if you need it especially when some contractors call in a locate ticket for 10,000 plus feet to be located or entire neighborhoods is they are installing new fiber... Those requests are usually not that common depending on which area you're working but places that are expanding and all that it's more prevalent.
