Pros
* Learning how to install/repair cable infrastructure * Company provided vehicle/vehicle maintenance * Paid weekly
Kontras
* Overbearing micromanagement * Impossible expectations, goal-line is always changing * Inconsistent work responsibilities - you wear many hats and may work in several locations * Inconsistent work/life balance - likely little time at home * Confusing pay structure - very hard to know what you'll bring home * Ineffective communication * Little to no opportunity for advancement * Management is not interested in your personal development * Poor management - While the local area manager is helpful and understanding, anyone beyond is ineffective and lacks the ability or willpower to recognize or rehabilitate the poor working conditions and depressing environment * Lacks the resources and focus to facilitate a support structure for field technicians and in-office personnel * Follows metrics religiously without a consideration for context - it doesn't matter why you're doing poorly, only that you're doing poorly. * Ineffective coaching strategies to correct poor performance - extremely out of touch approaches and procedures * Lack of compassion for life events - i.e. if you have a death in the family you better have a death certificate * Very unprogressive - they do not appreciate improvements to outdated processes * Overall a very unwelcoming work environment * Can't wear shorts, even if it's 96 degrees outside
