Pros

Probably the best company to work as a Cable or Satellite Installer. The training it's good and you get good money for that, the first months may be a disappointment, until you understand the system but than you are good to go. About money, my field training - 2 weeks over $2000 paycheck, the first paycheck working by myself - about $1100 ( after taxes), after 4 months all my paychecks ware over about $1600 - biweekly after taxes. Hours - from 8AM to 5PM +/-. Those who make less money are usually closing job for no reason or small reason. If you want to make some money you need to break some rules, sometimes and to not run away from jobs, for small reasons.

Cons

Me as an immigrant, I can't see nothing to complain about. You can't be millionaire by working for somebody. But I have all my respect for Mastec and for Rolando Gonzales, who was the site manager there. Also the office in Frederiksberg VA was pretty good, nice great people.

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!
