Pros

Payroll was the only thing that was consistent

Cons

Archaic management system focused on cronyism. The opportunity for a culture change was met with disdain. Safety protocols side stepped regularly. Absolute zero work/home balance. Training department was usurped by con artists. If you are not sucking up to leadership or if you questioned authority, you became extinct. I actually loved the position that I held and looked forward to every workday. Too many depression sessions. Did I mention that they were masterful at "gaming the system"? They're malfeasance and mismanagement has led them to a shell of their former self.

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

Easy Work, Lots of Hrs, Great Team, company vehicle, gas card

Cons

Management sucks, Hire friends and show favoritism towards them, hard to advance, has a high turnover rate, Long hrs, work between 16 to 18hrs a day and no time for family and kids. Managers in memphis never leaves home... Never and is unavailable 98.9 times you call him but upper management wont fire him. We've had 3 horrible managers back to back and they wonder why we struggle with the numbers. We have issues getting equipment to do the job. the system, kindof sucks so the system, crashes alot, the updates make it worse, etc.. If the owner of the company knew there were cliques, or favoritism hopefully he would do something.
