On the Spot Utility Resources

What is the best part of working at the company?
When  it was only locating electric was the most relaxing job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
currently dealing with 2 new contracts that are over run with contractors that are a bunch of crybabies because the tickets have to be delayed for the 150 tickets they called to be due on the same day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
before the comcast and charter contract it was wonderful. Now it has turn into a run like the wind to catch up on the ticket usic quit marking back in january.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
with work besties it fine, but the lack of support from our office down in Indiana is dreadful. However our local management is doing everything they can to support us.

Enjoyed my time working with OTS however the company makes work life balance impossible. Being on call for seven days a month when there are 20+ others in rotation was not fair. When hired I was told drive time wouldn’t be no more than 30 minutes however on a day to day basis my drive time was a hour and a half to two hours away from home. Company also lacked with communication when it came to paid holidays and took paid holidays aways if production goals were not meant. There was also constant weekend work even when we were caught up. If you like this kind of work environment I would recommend, for those who seek a work life balance this not a job for you.

You do not want to work here. This a dead end job. No future whatsoever. Management is primarily made up of family members and close friends of the owners; leaving very little room for advancement. Hourly locators are treated like low-payed grunts. There is very little training and the equipment is dated. You are reprimanded for even the smallest mistakes.  Most employees leave the company within 6 months of getting hired. The workload is unreasonable. Expect constant chaos and unmanageable ticket volumes. 

Company lacks the ability to retain good employees because of management and low pay.  Causing stress and damage to infrastructure such as gas and electric. 

In addition, most locate technicians lack the social skills to adequately communicate with contractors, homeowners, or the technicians in the energy industry.  Due to training, no company incentives and/or bonus potential for any employee.  

Company would be great for High School graduate with potential opportunity in using this company as a stepping stone and not a career. 


Its fine if you don't have kids and don't get injured otherwise you'll find it hard being here. No overtime available. Also watch for being fired for a supposed "policy" that's not even in the employee handbook so essentially getting fired for whatever they deem necessary instead of following their own handbook.

Worked here for a couple years. If you take pride in your work and show up everyday this place will go above and beyond to foster your growth with the company. When I was there they promoted from within and gave anyone who internally applied for another position in the company an interview and a fair shake and the promotion. Management and the CEO/upper management will go the extra mile to retain good help. Definitley a good place to work

There are days where you are just sitting in your truck because you have very little tickets, but also days where you'll have to locate 2 miles worth of main with services tying into the main. Typically, they tell you to work it as you can, but it gets extremely overwhelming and there really isn't much you can say or do to help your situation. Pay is terrible but considering the job and company vehicle it isn't the end of the world.

The one plus is the vehicle you tack home. Which the owner is currently trying to change. Once that happens I would look elsewhere. No matter how good you get the pay doesn't change. Often on your own to figure things out. Employees are more about out doing each other than working as a team.



Overall it started out being an ok job but as the months went past, it got worse. It can be stressful when you have a huge area to take care of. Management sucks here... they are completely lost. The training will have you lost. I would find something worth your time because they don't deserve you!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company vehicle is the. Only pro.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They don't want to pay people right 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not very motivating when they pay people pennies
