Mastec is a great way to get into the field. However, a horrible place to work for an experienced Technician. - Satellite Technician MasTec Employee Review

Pros

Free Phone, COV, Sat TV Service, good for an inexperienced tech to start due to "minimum wage supplements"

Cons

Lies about "out of cycle raises", it will not happen. 70+ hrs a week, no personal life, poor pay for even top performers, I don't have kids but if you do, don't work here unless you never want to see them.

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!
