Pros

- Piece-rate model can work to your advantage if you hustle. - Tech First mentality, going through evolution. - Paid-training, you get SBCA certified, they pay all expenses for the testing. - Company phone - Gas card - Materials paid for by MasTec, you don't have to buy your own materials for jobs. - basic tools provided - Quality assurance in the field is HEAVILY enforced - Safety protocols are enforced well, "We'd rather fire you than bury you." - Certainly no shortage of work

Cons

- Piece-rate model can work to your disadvantage if you are slower-paced, or if you get stuck with a house configuration or problem you can't quite figure out. - Long hours! No work-life balance. - mandatory 6-and-1 scheduling during busy season, indeterminate end date. - Even with an abundance of technicians and mandatory 6/1 scheduling, they still can't keep up with the workload without calling in contractors. - Those contractors don't always live up to quality standards and you end up fixing their shoddy work. - no protection for phones is issued. - Only teamwork involved is sharing of equipment and MAYBE tag-teaming a large commercial job, otherwise you're on your own. Consider two-man teams. - Sometimes excessive safety can get in the way of getting a job done. A little bit of flexibility exercised by an experienced technician can go a long way. - They CHARGE the employee for the privilege of keeping their van at home, no explanation given. - Health benefits are mediocre at best, they really push AFLAC, probably because of this.

Pros

very few. Work four days off three is the best one I can think of.

Cons

The "incentive" program which is 5.50-7.00/hour of your pay is a lie. The company finds a way to take these away constantly. Ask in the interview what number of employees made it last month always less than half. Sometime like 1 person out of 10. They will take it away. And prepare to drive 5-7 hours. A DAY.
