Pros

I mainly enjoyed working at MasTec because you have the ability to manage your day to day schedule on your own instead of the normal 8-5 hours.

Cons

I had to fight like crazy to get a relaxed weekend off. You are basically guaranteed to be working at least one day during the weekend.

Pros

To all who consider Mastec a place for employment consider this. This is place where you can become familiar with satellite installation and get to meet great people. Mastec AT is a place where you learn to forget what a break or lunch means and furthermore, you will learn how to drive a vehicle in places that one never imagined at times you never imagined.

Cons

This a company that lives on "All of the Authority and none of the responsibility". All of the responsibility of the office metrics is laid sole upon the technician even when its beyond ones control. There is really no equality or respect among techs and the people who are in office; as soon as one walks in one could feel the negativeness. There is no such thing as a promotion or incentive at Mastec AT. Promotions or "pay increases" are incentives that are taken away with no notice and overall job compensation also will devalue with no warning. The medical insurance is the far worst I have had; one is better off buying a policy else where. As a tech, your job description is not what it is "installer" there are other job titles not mentioned. Travel is unexpected, often and very undercompensated. Job responsibilities change often and suddenly. Management is so inconsistent with policies, procedures and duties, there is no respect between them and techs. At Mastec AT there is no advancement or promotions just different duties with different pay.

Pros

I was given opportunities to move forward within the company, although the determinations were prearranged by upper management and not truly voted upon like the position was portrayed.

Cons

There was no personal time, it was all consumed with work. Even as a technician I work between 60-80 hr wk. No recognition for successful implementations of directives (there was always some new directive being given), and no recognition of any accomplishments within the workplace. There was talk of teamwork, although it was discouraged by upper management. The company involved lots of closed door politics, although decisions were portrayed to the employees that they had been voted upon by office personnel and/or the technician force. Policies were not enforced for favorite employees. Write ups were given to select employees, not to everyone. Employees were regarded as liars, any situation that involved a customer's word against an employee's; was typically sided with the customer.
