Pros
- Prove you aren't a safety risk and management will generally stay out of your hair.
- You "can" make "great" money here, if your desire matches your work ethic.
- Take home vehicle and gas card.
- Leadership is knowledgeable and generally helpful. John in particular, as he treated me with the utmost respect during my tenure.
Cons
Cons/Why is the turnover rate so high?
- You are expendable, something they go out of their way to constantly remind you.
- You will not have a life outside of Digco.
- Some supervisors are incompetent and abusive beyond measure.
- An environment that cultivates zero trust. Supervisors will attempt to sneak up on you through bushes, watch you with binoculars, etc, in an attempt to catch you breaking policy. (Real, sadly)
- Prepare to be talked down to, yelled at for confirming orders, and generally treated poorly, even as a "trusted employee".
- The money simply does not match the labor output.
- Safety is little more than a buzzword, when multiple "special" employees are allowed to completely disregard safety protocols in order to line their (and the companies) pockets.
- The "training" is a joke and every supervisor does things differently. Zero cohesion. Techs will just call different Sup's until they get an answer they want.
