Pros

- The location in Coral Gables is great. Plenty of places to go for lunch - The company pays for garage parking - The IT department keeps up with the latest technology in some areas - especially the cloud - Majority of the company speaks Spanish - People in the company are friendly/approachable (Small company feel) - The IT department is not stressful or high pressure driven. Ex: It's not common to have to work On-call unless you're on the IT help desk side and most projects deliverables are manageable - Plenty of opportunities to learn new technologies. If you have the drive to learn. - Holiday party and company picnic are appreciated

Cons

- The IT department is disorganized due to lack of Project Managers to drive projects forward - SharePoint manager does not trust team with making changes to the SharePoint farm. He micro manages all SP changes so there's very little room to grow as a SharePoint admin. - There is no HR department for dealing with onboarding or benefit issues. - The IT department is cheap when it comes to investing in staff - Ex: For training and paying for company phones it can be a hassle to get approval - The company in general has high turnover - including the IT dept. Most people leave within 2-3 years for better pay and opportunities. - Miami traffic is horrible for commuting to Mastec. 1.5+ hours each way from Broward. - There's a lot of politics when it comes to submitting changes in Production. - There's no clearly defined career or milestone path at Mastec. Also, no yearly bonus or pay raise in the IT dept.

Constant paycuts and lay-offs, awful benefits

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.
