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!

Pros

Our teams feel like a family, and there is a direct connection with each department whenever questions or support are needed. There are also strong opportunities for advancement for those who demonstrate a solid work ethic and commitment to growth. At the end of the day, this is the best locate company I have ever been a part of. While there is always room for improvement, the fact that our concerns and ideas are genuinely heard and acted upon speaks volumes. It shows that management values its team, and it creates a culture where both technicians and leaders feel respected, supported, and motivated every day.

Cons

Managers often have additional responsibilities that can take time away from their primary focus, which should be managing their teams and maintaining safety and quality at all times. Many of these added tasks can pull attention away from day-to-day operations. Communication could also be improved across all levels to ensure expectations, updates, and support are clearly shared from every direction.
