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

Seemed like an ok place to start. You kill yourself and they might just like you. In a good industry. I was thankful every time I left the building.

Cons

Thieves, crooks, and liars. Developed an ineffective business model based on hiring awful people and promoting the worst of them. No awareness for safety!! If you get hurt, they will fire you!!!!! Naturally this is against the law, but they could care less. Pay sucked for the market we are in... or I just got screwed in negotiating. Wanted to commit suicide every day

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.
