Pros
Nothing to look forward too
Cons
The boss is a lier and a POS. The bodd is not even a surveyor. He's from the DOT and has no clue how the new technology works. This place will set you back years if you go there. I can't say thus again DO NOT WORK HERE. Im a union surveyor from nyc. I have fun expansive and complex jobs. At UIG they run these small little bridge jobs which is a cake walk compared to NYC. I was told I didn't know how to survey while yhe job I was on had a unbalanced traverse with two sets of numbers. Also the total station was last checked in 2014. When I found this out, it was the biggest embarrassment of my career. The 3rd party surveyor was in shock. They went 8 months with a bad total station and bent and damaged rods. The boss really had no idea about this stuff. Total embarrassment. The other surveyor on the beginning stages of a big job didn't know to to topo overhead wires or do line work. This person was shooting backsights with the DR. Totally insane stuff. Meanwhile with 25 years experience, I get laid off. Please stay away from this place. I'm begging you. Working at the SCDOT does not mean u know how to survey. To be against the new technology is the worst thing a company can do. This boss needs to be demoted to survey tech and let's see how he does. Lol. Stay away. Let's let this place go out of business. I'll be reaching out to the Charleston ports to let them know 8 months of work was done with a gun that was last checked in 2014
