Pros

There is absolutely no pros.

Cons

They micromanager everything. You can’t work over 40 hours with out begging like a child, and they don’t even get back to you. I was hired with a written statement that I got paid from doorstep to doorstep. All of a sudden they changed it. The president tells everybody that they are replaceable. The HR department doe absolutely nothing. If you need any assistance HR tells you to go to your manager and then your manager says go to HR. You get no where. They don’t give raises. But we get a jelly of the month club. Every 3 months you get a hat in the mail as a “thank you for your hard work” but they won’t give pay raises. All the managers on the East Coast are useless. They don’t care about anything expect themself. If for some reason you are ever in trouble if somebody calls your driving in, or if a contractor complains. You are automatically in the wrong and have to prove that you are right.

Pros

Nothing. Not one thing can I say good about this company.

Cons

I've been in the Industry for almost 16 years now. I've worked for all the locate companies and located every utility u Der the sun. With experience, management will expect you to go all over and do what the lazy locators will not, you will not be compensated. After bailing out all the other managers, getting their areas back beyond manageable... "Good Job", "Thank You"! Oh no, you won't hear a thing, but you will see even more in your ticket load, A camera in your face that screams you're following a vehicle too close when stopped at a stop light, a work phone that constantly rings with an automated 811 emergency call, you'll get a call for each utility on a ticket, if you have 5 or 6 utilities on 1 emergency, you will get a separate call for each utility. No bonus despite what the job posting advertised. The better you do, the more stress is implemented. If you desperately need a job then by all means, if you're experienced, Try it out. I, myself had to depart this company for the fact that they were trying to work me into an early grave, I would be so stressed out everyday that I would unwillingly bring stress and attitude towards my family, not gonna happen anymore... best of luck.. good riddance.

Pros

Motivation and encouragement to leave the locating industry.

Cons

Worst Locate Company I've ever worked for. If you love micromanagement, a camera that watches and critiques everything you do, no overtime, daily conference calls, surprise audits by 2 different individuals, none stop emergency calls, on call 24/7, upper management that views you as a expendable asset, and a lazy supervisor that never responds or does anything to make life easier on you, then apply at Stake Center today!

Thank you for the feedback. Could you let us know your suggestion for listening to Locate Technicians? We do currently do various surveys to ensure that what we do around a particular subject is in line with what the company thinks. The Stake Center team extends across the nation, so sometimes things are changed or implemented with the majority in mind. Thank you again for taking the time to review.
