Pros

I was given opportunities to move forward within the company, although the determinations were prearranged by upper management and not truly voted upon like the position was portrayed.

Cons

There was no personal time, it was all consumed with work. Even as a technician I work between 60-80 hr wk. No recognition for successful implementations of directives (there was always some new directive being given), and no recognition of any accomplishments within the workplace. There was talk of teamwork, although it was discouraged by upper management. The company involved lots of closed door politics, although decisions were portrayed to the employees that they had been voted upon by office personnel and/or the technician force. Policies were not enforced for favorite employees. Write ups were given to select employees, not to everyone. Employees were regarded as liars, any situation that involved a customer's word against an employee's; was typically sided with the customer.

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!
