Pros

When your out of the office you have freedom, and Can make good money. You can learn a good trade. Learn it, get fired and then get your own truck and sub contract. You dont have to deal with management threats and distress.

Cons

SUPER HIGH TURNOVER. RUN RUN So many to list and I cannot type that much. The score card system to incorporate you promo/demotion is get stricter and stricter every day. You are held responsible for faulty equipment and incompetent customers. If someone calls in with 30-90 days it goes against you no matter if you what the issue is. The customer could have thrown the remote in the pool, and it goes against you. You are questioned the moment something goes against you and "it is what it is" or "suck it easy". It is the only job I have ever had where I work there longer and make less money as time goes on.

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!
