- If you are scheduled for a job, you are expected to complete it. Even it requires over time that you did not expect. On the plus side, they give you at least a 24 hour notice.
Note: Some situations you can’t complain about. This is a construction job, so treat it like one. You have to come on site during certain periods of the construction to make both yours and the General Contractor’s life easier.
- A lot more construction work then expected. Any installation you are doing requires floor cuts, mounting equipment, and constantly getting up and down. Also, I hope your comfortable on a ladder in awkwardly high ceilings. I’m young and this work wore me out. They under played this aspect in the job interview hard! You have been warned.
- Was told my networking background would come into play. But it didn’t. Only in rare instances where stores used RFID, which only two clients utilized, that you use any networking background. But it’s basic networking skills to begin with.
- You are a combination of install monkey and finding BS phantom issues.
- There is little opportunity to move up. The best of the best FSRs in this company struggle to find other opportunities within the company. They get promised one thing, yet get stuck in the field.
- Heard from the older guys that during the recession that everyone in the company took a 20% pay decrease. This job is not recession proof.
