Pros

You get a paycheck. You might get one day off a week. Some of the people you work with are cool.

Cons

If you have a family this is NOT the place for you!!! You are chained to this job all the time. There is no work/home life balance. They say let's go to piece work you will get more time with your family. In reality it was less. Working literally every Saturday is for the birds. You never knew what time you were getting off work. Absolutely no training when it comes to new equipment. I was constantly told "if you don't like it quit". Denied vacation for no reason other than "because we can" 4 days before you leave on the vacation. You barely had the proper Materials to work with. Extremely unorganized. Jobs not going in due to customers having to reschedule, basically your fault. This is not a good job and I do not recommend it to nobody!!! Oh and upper management shady!

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
