Just plain awful

Pros

A lot of pleasant people work for this company and they take care of you pretty nicely for training. Decent pay, benefits, and options

Cons

I was with Mastec as a AT&T Digital Life security manager. Mastec was at the mercy of dealing with extremely demanding hours, poor pay for those hours, and a garbage home alarm system with a ton of back end issues. AT&T does not understand the alarm industry at all. Mastec just has to allow AT&T to mess up everything from scheduling to inventory and act as if they have the answers to fix it or hear AT&T managers and exec's complain and place blame on Mastec managers. Tech's in the Las Vegas market are getting burnt out quickly. They are pushed quickly through training with very little on job training, they are then pushed into the field and expected to perform well. As a manager the hours exceed 60 hours a week with 6 day work weeks leaving them with very little personal time. The list of issues is wayyy to long to list honestly. Its just a joke of an operation. I'm sure its much better working on the DirectTV side but AT&T's side is just too new and horrendously overdemanding with pointless micro management.

Pros

The company does give you all tools necessary to get the jobs done.

Cons

You are working at least 9-14 hrs. a day busting your butt and making 100.00 if you are lucky. You have to travel, which isn't the bad part; it's that you find our only days before you actually leave. And of course when you travel its for 3 weeks or more on occasion. Hope you don't have a family....you are screwed. The warehouse is also very poorly managed. We try to get equipment we need and they are either out, didn't order it or just point blank will not give it to you....it depends on if they like you (literally)

Pros

Great dental & vision, IT is still in US, they do try to rally morale (birthday of the month / employee of the month, great safety / cpr certification for all, very nice about working from home.

Cons

Upper management can't admit when they've made a mistake and hired the wrong person / people. Making the entire company look like a joke, everyone is having to pick up slack when it's not our job, and in order to receive great "individual" treatement (such as working from home, not having the skills to do the job - but still you get paid for it while everyone else does your job, constant blatant rude comments covered up by upper management) - you do have to be one of their "pets". Insurance is United, doesn't cover much. FSA is low (only $1,200).
