Vantaggi
Good trucks, equipment is typically good quality, and management does a fairly good job providing the proper tools. Jobs are organized by using jobsite lists on Google maps and a dropped-pin system, which works very efficiently. Company buys bottled water for employees, and ice during the summer. Half-hour lunch is paid.
Svantaggi
Line Clearance is hard work, sometimes in harsh conditions, so it's not for everyone. There are many jobs out there that are physically easier and much less dangerous. Thus, there's a high turn-over rate. Policies are designed to divert the responsibility of any incident to the foreman or groundsperson. Riggs is exemplary in 'company lawsuit prevention', so if something goes wrong, expect to accept repercussions. Management seems more concerned about wheel chocks and caution sign placement (lawsuit prevention) than your own personal safety.
