Pros

Paid by the piece if you can get enough pieces of work. 401K with match. Affordable health with options. Company Truck and Gas.

Cons

You're just a number. I saw 100's of techs come and go. Managements attitude, no big deal, we'll get someone else. If you have a life before you start, kiss it goodbye, it's 12 hr days, 6 days a week. If they could make you work 7 days, they would. Management does not care. When you can't go anymore, when they have burned you out, they'll just get someone else. If you have young ones, kiss them goodbye, you'll never see them! The long hours include both weekend days. I had to quit this job to save my family. If you are married with yoing children, this is not the job for you!

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!
