I worked there for about 6 Months I had looked up to this job for many years before I got hired took me a while just to get the experience needed. For a truck driver benefits and pay where excellent, had a good balance in work and free time. I highly recommend this job especially for truck drivers.$$$

Pros

Per diem

Poor Management, Great Co-workers

Environmental Technician (Current Employee) - West Virginia - August 7, 2022

Great work environment. Friendly people. Management is often distant from its employees and doesn’t know what they need to complete jobs. Pay is mediocre at best.

Look elsewhere if you want something long term

Hydrovac Operator (Former Employee) - Oilton, OK - July 13, 2022

I never really felt as if the company cared about our branch. They didn’t give us the equipment necessary to be successful in the field. We were the most profitable branch in the hydrovac division, but the company seemed to handcuff us at every turn. Very toxic environment to be a part of.

Last resort only!

Corporate Account Support (Current Employee) - Norwell, MA - July 10, 2022

No raises; no advancement unless you leave your department and that’s a minimal raise. Not a company that cares about work/life balance. No remote working.

Toxic

Manager (Former Employee) - United States - June 2, 2022

I didn’t even realize how toxic the culture was here until I had been gone for a few months. Every day at my new company is like Christmas because I don’t have to walk into that toxic environment.

Good People, Bad Management

Started out as a good job

Fleet Mechanic (Former Employee) - California - May 25, 2022

Started out thinking this would be a good fit and with the CBPP program better compensation would be in my control, fast forward 5 years, training complete but no raise.In five years I’ve been through 4 fleet managers and I’ve seen 13 mechanics come and go

Pros

Not to much OT

Cons

Management picks and chooses what policies to follow

If you want to work 24/7/365 and be available while on Vacation, this job is for you.

Manager (Current Employee) - Texas - May 24, 2022

The company runs lean, meaning, there isn't anybody else to pick up the slack to take care of the business. Be prepared to be underpaid, work for years without an increase and to wear many hats.
