Pros

I have a nice boss and work in a pleasant location. My pay rate is decent and MasTec offers great benefits.

Cons

Pay increases are very hard to come by. 4 years with this company and I still haven't seen a penny's raise, despite consistently perfect performance reviews. My boss has an anger problem and will scream at his secretary until she is in tears. There are no sick days, no vacation until working a full year - which is fine, but you won't get additional vacation days until you work there for 5 years. I do all the office cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, window cleaning), although it is not part of my job description, and I receive no additional pay for the work. I may work 10 or 11 hour days, but I am not allowed to record more than 8. In my 4 years here, I haven't seen anymore get a promotion unless someone passed away, so if you're looking to move up in a company, don't pick this one.

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!
