Pros

Company work van and gas card. Some of the Co-Workers are awesome people.

Cons

If you hate your family, work here and never see them again! Your day will start when you leave your house at 5:30 am to be at your job by 8am (you don't start getting paid until 8am). You will work through your breaks and lunches (regardless of state and federal laws) and arrive home at 11pm (don't get paid for your 40 - 50 mile ride home either) to be in bed by midnight. Then you will repeat this until you are physically and mentally unable to continue working. Then they will throw you away like trash and replace you like a new cog in their machine. You will do work that require more people in order to complete safely, but you will never receive any help, as it is considered a waste of resources. You will receive the most basic tools to get the job done and will need to purchase the rest of the tools yourself. Also, things like drill bits and screws is all on you. Any new tools or consumables can take 4 months to receive, but you are still expected to get the job done. Talking to HR is like talking to the wall. When bringing up safety matters to management I was told (and I quote) "If you don't want to work, we can have a separate conversation about that".

Pros

Not many pros besides co-workers that made it enjoyable to come into work.

Cons

Work schedule changed every 3 months. Management made many empty promises to employees about work schedules, end of year reviews and other important issues at hand. Used and abused some of the better employees that actually cared about their jobs.

Pros

Freedom when you work and how are you complete your job the level of quality,... it'll affect your metrics but nobody is going to be looking over your shoulder every two seconds your kind of your own boss don't mess up too much and it will probably stay that way Make a good bit of money pretty quick if you're lucky go to a house for a 4 box installation which is a minimum of $80 turns out Customer already had to DIRECTV they're switching account holders install the new boxes make sure wires are up to spec and you're done 20 minutes made $80. If every install was like this it would be the greatest job ever, sadly this is a very rare occurrence so don't get your hopes up.

Cons

The piece work atmosphere in this company is designed the most ideal technician in the most ideal work atmosphere if you're not very lucky you might go to a job and the Customer for some reason doesn't want to sign for the work you will not get paid and then would have work all those hours for nothing. I mean you could claim the hours but it will hurt your most important metric. I believe officially you are required to but nobody enforces that because they know how the system works. Some metrics that are important to you and what the company thinks of you as an employee are solely absolutely dependent on luck. Such as the metric for the percentage of Customer you install that have internet connected to the DirecTV equipment this metric is completely affected by number of customers have internet by number of customers that have internet what you cannot change so cross your fingers
