Pros

No micromanagement. Freedom to go at your own pace. Supervisors are great they are their To help you.

Cons

Training is very poor they do not prepare you for The actual job. Your at fault when direct tv equipment fails. Expected to bring everything up to code on a service call for 23$. Unless you can Do a service call in less than an hour your paid less than a gas station attendant. Also your expected to not go over 40 hours in a week. Yet Your working over 10 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week. You could get stuck on a service call for hours. And if you couldn’t fix it well your going to Get hit on your metrics. If you go to a house with no line of sight for a dish you get dinged on your metrics.

Pros

Typical construction type/relaxed environment.

Cons

I was very disappointed how executives handled escalated issues. HR was no help either and only defended the inept executives. Tons of racism and a very uncomfortable place for a woman to work. Expected to be available 24 hours a day on the weekends with no compensation.

Pros

- The location in Coral Gables is great. Plenty of places to go for lunch - The company pays for garage parking - The IT department keeps up with the latest technology in some areas - especially the cloud - Majority of the company speaks Spanish - People in the company are friendly/approachable (Small company feel) - The IT department is not stressful or high pressure driven. Ex: It's not common to have to work On-call unless you're on the IT help desk side and most projects deliverables are manageable - Plenty of opportunities to learn new technologies. If you have the drive to learn. - Holiday party and company picnic are appreciated

Cons

- The IT department is disorganized due to lack of Project Managers to drive projects forward - SharePoint manager does not trust team with making changes to the SharePoint farm. He micro manages all SP changes so there's very little room to grow as a SharePoint admin. - There is no HR department for dealing with onboarding or benefit issues. - The IT department is cheap when it comes to investing in staff - Ex: For training and paying for company phones it can be a hassle to get approval - The company in general has high turnover - including the IT dept. Most people leave within 2-3 years for better pay and opportunities. - Miami traffic is horrible for commuting to Mastec. 1.5+ hours each way from Broward. - There's a lot of politics when it comes to submitting changes in Production. - There's no clearly defined career or milestone path at Mastec. Also, no yearly bonus or pay raise in the IT dept.
