Pros

Nothing job isn't bad bit lack of pay trumps all

Cons

Six days a week isn't bad if u took the job u had to have known it's all about the money. It is disgusting how little they can pay u and the amount of jobs that I have done for them for free is terrible. They think being a blue technician is something to strive for but that should be you're starting rate. All the times had to worry because an upset customer that had nothing to do with me that I had to end up canceling job because worried about a terrible pose score. I have been a technician two and a half years I like the job but the pay is criminal and it disgusts me let's have Jose mas or all the supervisors live on the pay of a blue tech and all they get for jobs is service calls and see how they live. Puts hate in you're heart

Pros

You know you are appreciated. Work life balance.

Cons

Division of work responsibilities per project design takes longer vs. Conception to construction responsibilities remaining with one or two engineers per design.

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!
