Wachter reviews

Solitude. Never saw my "boss", I think my closest field supervisor (who was more of a liaison than a boss) was somewhere a state away, I don't think I met him in the 3 years I was assigned to him. Just a few emails asking how I was doing. There's a few traveling QA folks, they drop in on you every few months for a handful of minutes. Your actual boss will live in Arkansas, you'll meet them your first week and likely never again. Gotta be self-motivated and have a wide knowledge base from copper, fiber, telco, cameras, and everything in between and outside. If you have the skills, it's a job that pays a full wage including as much overtime as you can handle, even OT for driving). About driving, you will be doing a lot of that, but they provide you a truck, and foot the fuel bill, so it's nice if you like podcasts, and working alone overnights frequestly, but honestly all hours day or night. Weekend work depends on where you are, I was in the southwest, so my hours were lower and I never did weekends. When I lived in a centrally located midwest state I did a lot of weekend work, but like I said, overtime is nice too. This was as a service tech. An install tech has a more structured schedule, that changes from every few weeks, to multiple months at the same job site. You will live in a hotel, and have steady work, quite often including overtime.
