Pros

None. Nothing. If you can find anyplace else to work, run!

Cons

Terrible management, people who knew nothing about the job were constantly promoted to management positions simply because they knew the boss. They would lay-off experienced and qualified employees to bring in people who needed to be trained from scratch. The running joke is it's not if you get laid off from Mastec, but when. Absolutely no job security, incredibly bad benefits (especially for the price) and pretty much no room for advancement unless you're a family friend or old college pal. If there is any possible way you can avoid working at Mastec, do so. If not, you may as well start searching for another job now because you won't be there for long.

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!
