Pros

Company is growing at a steady pace with Advanced Technologies' service of DirecTV and AT&T Digital Life. Financial success is driving the company to improve culture and moral to retain valuable and useful employees. Many opportunities to go "above and beyond" without having to take the burden home with you.

Cons

Large companies such as this can appear to be unresponsive at times, and my experience has been 50/50 with a response rate to grievances. This is much better than other experiences I've had, but the one issue always being discussed behind the scenes but never up front is pay. Some departments can be expected to achieve incredible flexibility with little financial incentive to do so, outside of an internal merit system based on recommendations of different levels of recognition and an approval process. You get "points" that you can redeem for merchandise but that does little to pay bills.

Pros

Company van, tools, uniforms, decent benefits. able to work independently

Cons

Work/life balance is horrible. I work 14 to 16 hours a day. on an average day alone I usually get home around midnight. Management could care less about your concerns, I've addressed many concerns, and very few have been resolved, the warehouse is a joke, half the time I cant get enough equipment to do all my work. I'm driving a van with over 200,000 miles on it with expired tags!! I've asked for a new van only to be told that new ones would be arriving soon, I've yet to see them. Chargebacks suck! Every time a customer calls in with a complaint, you get a chargeback. Pay is horrible. they go by a color scale, orange, green and blue. and to move up to the next color rank is almost impossible. Ranking system is horrible: A scorecard system is used, you have to hit so many numbers to be promoted. meaning, you have to work your butt off to get a good paycheck Turnover rate is outrageous. I have seen an office of 45 techs drop to 15 within 6 months. All because you don't get paid well.
