There is literally one pro to this job and that's you can take home a company truck.
Better pay, better management, make the over all company a better place to work so people actually want to stay here
I know it varies depending on management but the area I locate in management will ignore you unless they want/need something. You give large areas with upwards of 7 way locates and get lectured if you start to fall in the red
You are just a number to them completely replaceable. They don't care if you have a family or if your sick, you need to work long hours to get your tickets done plus on call. The turn over rate is so high you'll be forever understaffed
No team work you work alone. The lazy locators get rewarded, the harder you work the more of a work load will be dumped on you. Asking for help gets you know where. My supervisors favorite words are do what you can and we look at weekend work
