Pros

If you have a heart beat, you have a job. Company vehicle and phone.

Cons

They will hire anybody as a tech, New management ran good employees off. Too much downsizing. They own you, literally. No work/life balance and they don't care about you having any personal time. Old and out-dated tools and technology make getting the job done difficult. Severely micromanaged. Techs are held accountable for issues out of their control and deducted pay. Middle management WAY over worked and must be available nearly 24/7. Everyone was constantly in fear of losing their job.

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!
