Pros

They give you a company van paid training some tools if you're lucky they may be new uniforms and I gas card.

Cons

First of they have no clue what it takes to be a cable guy. At least the managers that I had met don't be long and management I have no clue how to keep there employees motivated. There's always threats it's never we need to do this it's do it or find a new job. They don't value a good technician they allow them to just leave instead of fighting to try to keep the guys that are worth something. The GPS track the Vans now which is fine as long as you don't spend every single minute of watching it just to bust people. They asked the technicians opinions on things and completely ignore them. When I started the job it was all about family it's all about having fun and doing the job right those values have gone out the door no longer exist. All about the numbers you don't have the numbers then you aren't Worth $0.02 to them their expectations for new hires is so high the nobody wants to work for the minimum wage but they pay. There's about a dozen managers at every Tech and they have no clue the minute they got their suit I forgot what it was like to be a technician. I have no problem throwing their own guys under the bus to make themselves better.

Fantastic people and transparency across the department on goals and KPIs necessary for business success.

Cons

I had no previous negative events at Metronet. Expectations can be lofty but are fantastic to continue driving for personal improvement.

Pros

- relatively easy work once trained - efficient workers can complete responsibilities and have free time - generally low-stress if everyone is making progress

Cons

- very low base pay (lowered from 22 to 19/hr to start since the pandemic) - fixed promotion schedule means overachieving is not rewarded - company has regularly been laying people off and promising new tech tools and AI systems will make up for the lack of workers (it has not) - most of the higher-ups in the company are white men that seem to be entirely disconnected from the reality of their employees - increasingly higher demands regarding production time and workflows, yet company refuses to hire more workers
