Pros

A lot of pleasant people work for this company and they take care of you pretty nicely for training. Decent pay, benefits, and options

Cons

I was with Mastec as a AT&T Digital Life security manager. Mastec was at the mercy of dealing with extremely demanding hours, poor pay for those hours, and a garbage home alarm system with a ton of back end issues. AT&T does not understand the alarm industry at all. Mastec just has to allow AT&T to mess up everything from scheduling to inventory and act as if they have the answers to fix it or hear AT&T managers and exec's complain and place blame on Mastec managers. Tech's in the Las Vegas market are getting burnt out quickly. They are pushed quickly through training with very little on job training, they are then pushed into the field and expected to perform well. As a manager the hours exceed 60 hours a week with 6 day work weeks leaving them with very little personal time. The list of issues is wayyy to long to list honestly. Its just a joke of an operation. I'm sure its much better working on the DirectTV side but AT&T's side is just too new and horrendously overdemanding with pointless micro management.

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!
