Pros

Company truck. Outdoor work. Nothing else about this company is any good.

Cons

Grossly undertrained, and understaffed. Terrible, unreliable computers. Unrealistic production expectations. Over the years, it went from a decent job to a really bad job. Training went from 2 months years ago to 1 week training now. Expect to work 60+ hours / week, not including mandatory on call hours. Underpaid for what job entails. Job turnover extremely high because of excessive mandatory overtime, no weekends off ( Sat and Sun just normal work days for USIC ) , very poor training and no support from supervisors. If anything goes wrong, you are automatically blamed. You can't get help from any experienced locators, there are no longer any experienced locators that work for USIC. Overall, USIC is a very bad company to work for, only take a job here as a last resort, such as becoming homeless or something. I would take any fast food job before working here, the pay is about the same and a lot less stress and you don't have mandatory 60 hours work a week. Also beware, the company cheats its utility customers and forces you to reschedule tickets so the company can say tickets are not late.
